An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. It is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer which …

Ensure the integrity of your fiber optic network with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). OTDR testing analyzes fiber optic cable performance from end to end by testing …

What are Optical Time-domain Reflectometers? Optical time domain reflectometers are instruments which measure the spatially resolved reflectivities and losses in optical fibers.

An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a precision tool used to detect faults and measure loss along fiber optic links by analyzing backscattered light from high-speed pulses.

Since the 1980s, OTDRs have been used to characterize fiber links, identify optical events, measure event loss, location, reflectance and identify events that can impact the fiber optic …
