Fiber optic cable splice waveform test

The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is useful for testing the integrity of fiber optic cables. If you work with fiber optic networks, knowing how to use an OTDR to test fiber optic splices is one of the most powerful skills you can have. It can verify splice loss, measure length and find faults. Passive components consist of all the links and connections that unite communication devices on the overall network. Fiber optic strands are ultra-lightweight and about as thin as human hair, and yet, they have more than eight times the pulling tension of a copper wire. Regardless of the type of fiber network you're deploying, be it for telecom, enterprise data centers, or smart city infrast...
