OTDRs can measure the attenuation coefficient of fiber, be used to analyze discreet events in a link such as splice points or connector pairs, and can also locate damaged or distressed cable or broken fibers. Fiber optic testing of a newly installed system not only verifies that the system meets its design requirements, but also creates a performance baseline for all future testing and troubleshooting of t at system. Corning recommends that all fiber optic systems be tested to a minimum set. Guidelines On What Loss To Expect When Testing Fiber Optic Cables To be able to judge whether a fiber optic cable plant is good, one does a insertion loss test with a light source and power meter and com...
