INTRODUCTION

APPLICATIONS, cont.

Optical Fiber Cable Length Measurement.

Fiber OWL 7 fiber certifiers can also be used to perform a “round-robin” optical fiber

length measurement. If the unit has an integrated OTDR port, length measurement is done via OTDR trace. (Not included with Fiber
OWL 7 LITE optical power meters).

OPTICAL

LENGTH

MEASUREMENT

Measure the end-to-end length of a fiber link

using the loop-back “round-robin” method.
