  • Page 27: Basic Information Of Otdr Module

    An OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) is a measurement device for identifying optical fiber transmission problems. The PRO TP-P6 is mainly used to measure the attenuation of a whole optical fiber span, and to provide attenuation details relating to the length, location and characteristics of any event within the fiber optic span. An event can refer to faults caused by splicing, contamination, faulty connectors and/or bending in the fiber.

  • Page 28: Basic Definition And Classification Of Events

    4 Basic Information of OTDR Module 4.3 Basic Definition and Classification of Events 4.3.1 Events Events refer to any abnormal points causing attenuation or sudden change of scattering power, besides the normal scattering of optical fiber, which include all kinds of losses, such as bending, connections and breaks.

  • Page 29: Inspection Events

    4 Basic Information of OTDR Module 4.3.1.3 Inspection Events The OTDR sends a light pulse into the optical fiber to be inspected. It then receives returning light signals and starts calculating the “event” distance. The farther the distance is, the longer the time needed for scattered light to be received by the OTDR.
