To reiterate, a bi-directional test consists of two measurements on the same optical fiber, made by launching light into opposite ends of that fiber, then averaging the attenuation at connectors without

Bidirectional testing involves measuring the fiber from both ends. Typically, you perform a test from one end, then move the equipment to the other end and repeat the test.

A bi-directional test gives you OTDR results for both directions on a fiber. The tester automatically calculates averages of the two results and includes the averaged values in the test record.

One of the OTDR''s principal attractions is that it can provide detailed analysis with a single-ended test, requiring just one technician and one test set. However, this approach is really only sensible in
