FIBER TESTING APPLICATIONS

-304

Point-to-point fiber optic cable installation test and troubleshooting
Verify end-to-end length, loss and return loss. Verify splice and connector loss and reflectance. Locate source of excess loss and/
or reflections, including micro- or macro-bends.
FTTx PON construction test
Test to or through splitters. Verify end-to-end length, loss and return loss. Verify splitter, splice and connector loss and
reflectance. Locate source of excess loss and/or reflections, including micro- or macro-bends.

FTTx customer fiber troubleshooting – dark fibers
Locate cable cuts, open splices, micro- or macro-bends and bad connections
FTTx in-service (Live PON) troubleshooting
Automatically detect live PONs. Prevent service-disrupting 1310/1550 nm OTDR tests on live PONs. Locate macro bends, poor
splices or high-loss connections without disrupting service to active PON subscribers.
FTTx service turn-up (commissioning)
Verify PON power levels at the ONT (subscriber) location. Locate faults in distribution or drop cables, or between splitters in
PONs built using distributed splitter architecture, all without disrupting service to active PON subscribers.

Note:
a. Adds 1490 nm OTDR and OLS. Testing at 1310 / 1550 nm is recommended and typically all that is needed to test FTTx PONs during construction.
