Glossary start with Letter A: Abrasion resistance The surface ware resistance of the fiber optic cable. Absorption Caused by impurities introduced during the manufacturing process, absorption creates loss in a fiber by turning light energy into heat. The amount of absorption is determined by the wavelength and depends upon the composition of the glass or plastic. […]

OTDR used in Fiber Optic Network Acceptance testing – 2
OTDR used in fiber network acceptance test We will use the manual method of OTDR operation. Start the OTDR and select the correct wavelength and refractive index for the test. Set the OTDR’s measurement mode to “Two Point Attenuation”. In this mode, the OTDR allows you to set markers at any two points on the backscatter […]
OTDR used in Fiber Optic Network Acceptance testing – 1
OTDR used in Fiber Optic Acceptance testing – 1 Fiber optic acceptance testing ensures that any new cable matches the optical and physical requirements of the planned application. This testing should be performed upon delivery of the cable, prior to its installation. It is important that the operator knows the specifications in order to properly […]
What is Fiber Testing
What is Fiber Testing Why Fiber Testing is important? Fiber optics cabling is the core of today’s Datacom/FTTH/CATV/ networks. Optical fiber is the currently predominant media type for mission-critical datacenter links, backbone within buildings, and longer distances for campus networks. As network speeds and bandwidth demands increase, distance and loss limitations have decreased, making fiber optic […]
