OTDR Testing

Measuring fibre links with an OTDR to locate faults and verify quality.

OTDR Testing

An OTDR trace shows the length, loss and condition of a fibre link and pinpoints breaks or poor splices. We test new installations for acceptance and trace faults on existing routes. You receive the results in a clear report.

What we do

  • OTDR testing in one or both directions
  • Measurement of loss, reflections and distance to events
  • Fault location on damaged links
  • Trace files and a summary report
  • Recommendations for repair where needed

What we need from you to quote

  • Fibre route description and approximate length
  • Access to both ends of the fibre or to the patch panel
  • Type of fibre and connector
  • Whether the test is for acceptance or fault finding
  • Existing test records for comparison, if any
