Chapter 8   OTDR Operation

Evemt Table Field Description

# Event Number:

Indicates the event in sequence, where the higher the number, the further distance from the OTDR the event  

occurs. “E”  (End) is the event determined to be the End of Fiber (EOF). "L" (Link) is the information relative to 

the full fiber trace. 

P:

Pass/Fail, if any one of the thresholds are not met for and event, the P/F column will display an "F".  The 

parameter that failed will be displayed in red.  If all the parameters are met, this column will display a "P". 

 

Km or KF or MI:

Event Location per unit of measure, Km for Kilometer, KF for Kilo-feet and MI for mile.  This is the distance/

location that the event occurs along the fiber link.  

 

Splice:

Event Loss, is the loss of the splice, mated pair or other effect of the fiber considered as an event.  (A positive 

number is the amount of dB loss and a negative number indicates a gain normally due to mismatched index of 

refraction.) This is an adjustable threshold for the Pass/Fail feature. The "E"  event will display N/A  and the "L"  

Link displays Link as these are not an event that would have meaning as a loss value.  

2POINT:

2 Point Loss is the loss measured from the end of the dead zone of the previous event to the beginning of 

current event.  The value in the "L" line of the table for this column is the link loss. The loss from the beginning 

of the trace to the event determined to be the EOF.  This is the value used to determine if the fiber link passes 

or fails it's link threshold.

dB/Km or Kf or Mi:

dB per Kilometer if in KM and DB/KF if in Kilo-Feet and DB/MI if in mile unit of measure.  This is the  

calculated loss per Km, Kf or Mi from the end of the dead zone of the previous event to the beginning of the 

current event. The value in the "L" line of the table for this column is the dB Per/KM, Kf or Mi for the total link. 

TYPE: 

Event Type lists Splc for non-reflective events and displays a reflectance value for reflective events.  The "E" 

end event is marked End and  the "L" event displays the System ORL.
