OTDRs and Fault Locators

NOYES® optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) and fault locators from AFL are used to certify new fiber installations and locate faults in deployed fiber optic networks. OTDRs and fault locators are available for both multimode and single-mode networks, including FTTx PONs. OTDRs scan fiber optic networks from one end of the fiber, displaying a trace and reporting detected events such as splices, connectors, micro- or macro-bends and fiber end. Fiber length is reported along with location, loss and reflectance of detected events. Several OTDRs are available with an integrated visual fault locator (VFL), optical light source (OLS), and/or optical power meter (OPM). OTDR results can be saved and uploaded to PC for further analysis and/or archiving.
