What is OTDR Blind Area?
Aug 26 , 2021
Why does the blind area come up? The OTDR produces a blind area because the OTDR's detector is temporarily "blinded" by the high intensity Fresnel reflection light (mainly caused by the air gap between the OTDR connections). When the high intensity reflection is produced, the power of the photodiode is more than 4000 times higher than the backscatter power. Thus, the reflected light signal receive...

Do you know what kinds of optical fiber connectors there are?
Sep 10 , 2021
In the field of optical fiber, optical fiber interface (also known as optical fiber connector) is a common product, which is a detachable device between optical fiber and optical fiber, and connects the two ends of optical fiber. It is not only connected to the optical fiber, but also can be repeatedly plugged and unplugged, so it has also become a movable connector of the optical fiber. With the ...

What are reflective and non-reflective events in otdr?
Jan 21 , 2022
1. The height of each point in the OTDR curve represents the backscattered light intensity at that location. When looking at the OTDR curve, you can see that the reflected signal is raised in some places, as if the optical power at the back is stronger than the front, which is impossible. Generally, this situation is the backscattering peak caused by the Fresnel reflection at the splicing, breakin...

The knowledge and use of OTDR launch cable
Mar 04 , 2022
1. Knowledge of OTDR extension cable The OTDR extension cable is similar to the optical fiber jumper. There is no fusion point in the middle of the optical fiber. During the optical fiber test, the OTDR extension cable is the insertion loss and reflectivity of the near-end connection and the far-end connection of the optical fiber line when using the OTDR measurement. It is mainly used to make up ...

How to reduce the fusion splicing loss?
Apr 28 , 2022
The size of the loss is a very important technical indicator of the optical fiber fusion splicer. The lower the loss, the higher the precision of the machine, which can support longer distance fusion splicing. The more perfect the fusion point, the longer the service life. 1. The fiber cleaver cutting angle of the fiber is very important. At present, most of the optical fiber fusion splicers are f...

OTDR test with light
May 24 , 2022
What is OTDR test with light? When testing with the wavelengths of 1310nm, 1490nm and 1550nm of common OTDR, it is necessary to require that there is no communication optical signal in the line under test. Forcing the test with light will burn out the internal detector of the OTDR. With light test, the OTDR can still complete the test without interrupting the signal light in the line during the te...

What is the difference between the six motors and four motors of the fusion splicer?
Jun 07 , 2022
Maybe many friends' cognition of splicing machines and motors only exists in the more the better. This is true, but too general. Today we will talk about why six-motor splicing machine have lower losses and better performance. 1. Four motor fusion splicer, with two propulsion motors and two core-adjusting motors. The six-motor splicing machine also has two focus motors. The most intuitive view is ...

What is dynamic range of OTDR
Dec 15 , 2022
The dynamic range of an OTDR determines how long of a fiber can be measured. It is listed as a dB value — larger values generally mean longer distance measurement capability. A test pulse needs to be strong enough to get to the end of the fiber to be tested, and the sensor has to be good enough to measure the weakest backscatter signals which come from the end of a long fiber. The combination of t...
