An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an instrument used to characterize an. It is the optical equivalent of an electronic which measures the of the or under test. OTDR testing analyzes fiber optic cable performance from end to end by testing components along the cable, including connection points, bends, and splices.

An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fiber. It is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer which measures the impedance of the cable or transmission line under test. An OTDR injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber under test and extracts, from the same end of the fiber, light that is scattered (Rayleigh backscatter) or reflected ba
