It's no secret that electrical technicians are always looking for ways to maximize efficiency and profits by shortening labor hours on a job site. When it comes to fiber-optic testing, a new tool from ...

In the same way radar locates distant objects, an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) can locate defects and problems in an optical fiber. Although their methods differ—radar uses an RF signal ...

New OTDR D-series delivers best-in-class field-testing and dramatic efficiency gains, building on EXFO’s leading position of fiber optic test solutions. QUEBEC CITY, Canada — EXFO, the communications ...

An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. OTDRs are widely used in the telecommunication industry for testing bare and cabled ...

Platinum Tools, a brand of preparation, installation, hand termination, and testing solutions from NSI, is proud to announce the launch of its new PT-OTDR-100 mini OTDR tester. The PT-OTDR-100 is ...

Coherent continues to lead in embedded OTDR technology, with this QSFP addressing the needs of ultra-high-capacity fiber networks where real-time visibility and proactive maintenance are crucial.

A new technique applied to avalanche photodiodes improves the operating range or sampling rate of OTDRs, says Ben White. An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is a fibre optic network test ...
