OTDR Measurement characteristics
Distance measurement
• dual cursors
• distance displayed with respect to the calibration of the fiber’s group index
• group index adjustable from 1.30000 to 1.70000 in 0.00001 step
• display resolution: 1 cm (0.39 inch) max
• cursor resolution: 1cm (0.39 inch) max
• sampling spacing: from 4 cm (1.57 inch), with up to 128 000 acquisition data
points
• accuracy: ±1 m ± 10
-5
x distance ± sampling resolution
(excluding group index uncertainties)
Attenuation measurement
• dual cursors
• display resolution: 0.001 dB
• cursor resolution: 0.01 dB
• accuracy: ± 0.05 dB / dB ± 0.05 dB
Reflectance measurement
• display resolution: 0.01 dB
• accuracy: ± 4 dB
Automatic measurement
• Automatic measurement of all signal characteristics. Slope measurement by
linear regression or 2 points measurements.
• Thresholds for fault display:
0 to 5.99 dB in 0.01 dB steps for event threshold
-11 to -99 dB in 1 dB steps for reflectance
0 to 1.99 dB/km in 0.001 dB/km steps for slope
• Display of fiber segment slope and attenuation
• Display of position and loss
• Display of reflectance
• Display of ORL
Manual measurement
• measurement of slope between the cursors
• measurement of the loss between two fiber sections
• measurement of the reflectance of a reflective event
• measurement of the Optical Return Loss between the two cursors.
• measurement of a splice either by 2 point or 5 point method
