How To Use OTDR?
Aug 14 , 2020
HOW TO USE OTDR? What is the most important thing to our OTDR? It must be looking at the graph and analyzing the curve. Then you can determine the condition of the line according to the curve. The operation mode and key function of each machine are basically different. First of all, we have to understand the basic operation and the key functions. We need to understand the most basic aspects of the...

How To Use The Optical Power Meter?
Aug 20 , 2020
Optical power meter refers to an instrument used to measure absolute optical power or the relative loss of optical power through a section of optical fiber. Simply put, it is to measure the attenuation of the optical signal after fiber transmission. Simple instructions: 1. When measuring the absolute optical power with the optical power meter, just connect the light source and look at the value in...

The Basic Principles of OTDR
Oct 15 , 2020
OTDR is called Optical Time Domain Reflectometer, which injects narrow light pulses into the fiber end face as a detection signal. When the light pulse propagates along the fiber, the backscattered part of Rayleigh scattering everywhere will continue to return to the incident end of the fiber. When the optical signal encounters a crack, Fresnel reflection will occur, and the back reflected light w...

The Basic knowledge of PON
Nov 11 , 2020
1.1 Basic principles of PON system PON (passive optical network) refers to an optical access network in which the ODN (optical distribution network) between OLT (optical line terminal) and ONU (optical network unit) all adopts passive equipment. PON is a point-to-multipoint (P2MP) optical access system, which can save fiber resources, ODN does not require power supply, user access is convenient, a...

The Notes When Using OTDR
Nov 26 , 2020
1. Simple judgment of fiber quality: Under normal circumstances, the slope of the main body of the light curve (single disk or several optical cables) tested by OTDR is basically the same. If the slope of a certain section is large, it indicates that the attenuation of this section is large; if the main body of the curve is of irregular shape, the slope fluctuation is large. Bending or arcing indi...

What are the main functional differences between OTDR and optical power meters?
Jan 13 , 2021
Anyone who does optical cable construction will often come into contact with optical power meter and OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer). Multi-users do not understand why it is necessary to use an optical power meter to test the optical loss after testing the OTDR. Doesn't OTDR have the function of testing fiber loss? And there are some differences in the main functions of the two devices? O...

Precautions for using VFL
Feb 03 , 2021
Visual Fault Locator are also called VFL, pen-type red light sources, visible light detector, optical fiber fault detectors, optical fiber fault locators, etc. Most of them are used to detect fiber breakpoints. According to their shortest detection distance, they are divided into: 5Km, 10Km, 15Km, 20Km, 25Km, 30Km, 35Km, 40Km, etc. Driven by a constant current source, a stable red light is emitted...

How does otdr measure breakpoints?
Feb 19 , 2021
The fiber breakpoint measurement with OTDR can be divided into three steps: parameter setting, bai data acquisition and curve analysis. Manual setting of measurement parameters includes: (1) Wavelength selection (λ): Because different wavelengths correspond to different light characteristics (including attenuation, microbending, etc.), the test wavelength generally follows the principle correspond...

Why Do You Need OTDR Launch Box?
Mar 24 , 2021
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a mandatory fiber optic testing tool which uses light backscattering technologies to analyze optical fiber performance. An OTDR can test the light loss and locate the breaks, splices and connectors in fiber optic network. However, an OTDR has a “Dead Zone“ which can affect the test results. To overcome the limitation of this OTDR dead zone, an OTDR Launc...

Optical fiber will be the foundation of 5G network
Apr 01 , 2021
With the continuous changes in 5G wireless standards, what measures can network operators take to lay the foundation for 5G transmission networks? The good news is that at least the path of 5G at the physical layer is clear: optical fiber will be the foundation of 5G networks, and centralized RAN (C-RAN) will become the 5G network architecture. C-RAN was introduced through 4G (commercial de...

Why we need OCID?
Apr 23 , 2021
As demand for optical fiber increases day by day,the numbers of fibers in a single optical cable can be as many as 2096 individual fibers.As more fiber cables are buried underground,it becomes extremely dificult for the telecom engineers and technicians to manage the cables because cables may take different pathways, or be labeled incorrectly. As vast large number of optical cable being deployed b...
