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...

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...

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...

VFL is very easy to use. The steps to use a VFL are provided as following: Step One: remove the plastic connector covers from both ends of the test fiber cable. Step Two: connect the fiber optic visual fault locator one end of the fiber. Press the tester button and observe that light emanates from the other end of the fiber. This gives a simple indication of the continuity of the fiber link. Step ...

Introduction Optical cable identifier instrument, is based on the principle of optical fiber interference, through optical coherent demodulation to convert the tapping vibration signal of the optical cable into visual and audio signals, so as to accurately find and identify targets in various laying methods Optical cable. The fiber optic cable survey instrument can be used not only for the mainten...

There are many kinds of optical power meters, which one is suitable for us? in choosing optical power timing, we should also consider the following factors: (1) Application. Ordinary optical power meters can generally measure the absolute optical power of ordinary optical fiber links, but in some special applications, such as passive optical network (PON), coarse wavelength division multiplexing (...

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...

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...

Upgraded high accuracy fiber identifier S506 integrates VFL and LED lighting function,It is one of the necessary tools for fiber maintenance.Fiber identifier can detect any position of the single mode and multi mode fiber. With the fiber identifier to identify the fiber on the line, you can identify the fiber power and 3 kinds of signal frequencies, and there will be a buzzer sound when identifyin...

For our communication, OTDR is the equipment that we usually have to get in touch with, so analyzing OTDR and detecting faults is a skill we need to learn So what aspects should we start with if the OTDR test fails? Next, the editor will take you to learn more about how to detect OTDR problems. Especially when it can't be tested. 1. The optical port is not plugged in properly. Our OTDR optical por...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

OTDR is one of the most commonly used fiber optic measurement instruments and is widely used in the measurement, construction, maintenance and acceptance work of fiber optic cable projects. Although OTDR is widely used and is a common instrument for many installation and maintenance teams and engineering teams, but due to the OTDR curve expression is not intuitive enough, there are still many prac...
