We must first know the purpose of the OTDR tool. The purpose of the OTDR tool is to measure. and search for events that occurs on fiber optic cables It is based on the principle of reflection of light traveling in an optical fiber versus time. The light travels from the source to the destination and then reflects back. Such as the length of the cable, the location of the splice or connector, and the rate of signal loss. (Attenuation)

Various parameters that you need to get to know the basics of OTDR machines

Wavelength (wavelength of light used) Wavelength classification can be divided into 2 types.
1. Multi-mode Fibers, MMF is a wavelength of 850, 1300 nanometers.
2. Single -mode Fibers, SMF is wavelengths at 1310, 1490, 1550, 1625, 1650 nanometers.
Fiber range (distance that the customer meets to verify)
Connector (various OTDR connector types such as FC or SC)
Connector End face Preparation (Various connector contact styles such as UPC or APC)
Optical Networks (network system that customers will use)
1. Metro Optical networks
2. Access Network
