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...
