Before you use the OTDR module, read the safety
information that starts on page 6.
The OptiFiber ® Pro OTDR modules are Optical Time Domain
Reflectometers that locate, identify, and measure reflective and
loss events in multimode and singlemode fibers. Typical maximum
test ranges are 35 km maximum at 1300 nm for multimode fiber
and 130 km maximum at 1550 nm for singlemode fiber. The
modules include these features:
 Automatic analysis of OTDR traces and events helps you
identify and locate faults on multimode (850 nm and
1300 nm; 50
μ m and 62.5 μ m) and singlemode (1310 nm and
1550 nm) fiber.
 Shows OTDR results as an intuitive map of events, a table of
events, and an OTDR trace.

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.
 Span function lets you limit OTDR results to a section of fiber
that you define. See Chapter 13.
