The OptiFiber
®
Pro HDR (High Dynamic Range) Optical Time
Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) module attaches to a Versiv and
Versiv
™
2 main unit to make a rugged, hand-held tester that lets
you locate, identify, and measure reflective and loss events on
singlemode fibers in outside plant (OSP) and premises
installations. The HDR OTDR test results includes the location and
performance of unpowered (passive) splitters used in PON
(passive optical network) installations. A typical maximum test
range is 260 km for a link with no splitters. The modules include
these features:
 Automatic analysis of OTDR traces and events helps you
identify and locate faults on singlemode fiber.
 Shows OTDR results as an intuitive map of events, a table of
events, and an OTDR trace. PON OTDR test results include the
locations and split ratios of optical splitters.
 Automatic bi-directional averaging gives you more accurate
loss measurements than measurements made in one
direction.
 “Document Only” test limit is available if PASS/FAIL results are
not necessary.
 Event editing function lets you edit loss events. See Chapter
13.
