OTDR – Optical Time Domain Reflectometer

The OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer ) is an essential tool for testing the performance of fiber optic cables. It works by sending a pulse of light down the fiber and measuring the time it takes for the light to reflect back. This information can be used to identify and locate faults in the cable, such as breaks, splices, and bends.
