OTDR Testing Service

We undertake OTDR testing job anywhere India. The fiber optic testing involves the use of an OTDR; or Optical Time Domain Reflectometer. An OTDR is capable of measuring fiber lengths, losses, connector losses, splice losses and fiber defects.
No device is required at the far end of the fiber to use an OTDR, results can be saved electronically to produce reports and enables accurate location of problems. On the downside OTDRs tend to be expensive, resolution is limited (due to length of light pulse for example) and the complexity of an OTDR means that for best results a user should undergo some form of training so that they may accurately interpret the results. The basic principle of the OTDR is that it sends a pulse of light into the fiber; some of this light is reflected back and detected at the OTDR. The OTDR produces a trace on screen showing a line, or graph, when the light encounters certain anomalies - a splice for example - some light is reflected from the spliced joint, by measuring how much light is reflected the OTDR can determine the loss associated with each of these anomalies.A full description of the operation and capabilities of an OTDR is beyond the scope of this brief introduction to fiber testing, however we hope to publish a more informative and in depth article on OTDR in the near future. If you need your fiber systems testing using an OTDR but cannot justify the cost of purchase and the training of personnel then use a professional company who can carry out full system checks as required.
