    OTDR detection of optical cable defects

    The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is useful for testing the integrity of fiber optic cables. OTDR testing analyzes fiber optic cable performance from end to end by testing components along the cable, including connection points, bends, and splices. It injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber and analyzes the backscattered signal based on time, enabling a detailed view of the.
