Fiber optic tools are specialized instruments designed for installing, terminating, splicing, testing, and maintaining fiber optic cables. An OTDR helps pinpoint faults, breaks, and splices along a fiber link with serious accuracy. Testing fiber optic components and cable plants requires making several measurements with the most common measurement parameters listed in the Table below. It can detect and locate events in the optical fibers, such as connection points, fracture points, bending points, etc.
