OTDR Optical Time Domain Reflectometer- Fiber Optic Tester

📡 OTDR Optical Time Domain Reflectometer – Precision Fiber Testing Tool

Ensure flawless fiber optic performance with the OTDR fiber optic tester, a must-have for network engineers and field technicians. Whether you’re installing new links or troubleshooting existing ones, this device provides crystal-clear insights into fiber integrity, pinpointing issues such as breaks, splices, and losses with extreme accuracy.

⚙️ How Does an OTDR Work?

The OTDR Optical Time Domain Reflectometer operates by sending a short laser pulse into the fiber. As the pulse travels, imperfections and changes in the fiber cause some light to scatter back toward the source. The OTDR detects this backscattered light and measures its intensity over time. Since the speed of light in the fiber is known, the time it takes for the backscattered light to return can be converted into distance, allowing the OTDR to create a trace or profile of the fiber’s condition along its length.
