Optical Time Domain Reflectometer
(OTDR)
(OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to
characterize an optical fiber.
An OTDR injects a series of optical pulses into the fiber
under test.
 It also extracts, from the same end of the fiber, light that
is scattered and reflected back from points in the fiber
where the index of refraction changes. (This is equivalent to
the way that an electronic time-domain reflectometer
measures reflections caused by changes in the impedance of
the cable under test.)
The strength of the return pulses is measured and
integrated as a function of time, and is plotted as a function
of fiber length. Figure 4. OTDR Trace Information
An OTDR may be used for estimating the fiber's length
and overall attenuation, including splice and mated-
connector losses.
It may also be used to locate faults, such as breaks, and to
measure optical return loss.

 Optical Attenuator
An optical attenuator is a device used to reduce the power level of an
optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. They are commonly
used in fiber optic communications

The basic types of optical attenuators are

Fixed
Step-wise variable and
Continuously variable.
 Optical Talk Set
• The OTS-55 Optical Talk Set provides clear digital voice transmission over a
single fiber. Hands free operation makes communication even more convenient
for the technician by using either a headset or the "speaker phone" mode.
• Highlights
• Hands free operation in either headset or "speaker phone" mode.
• Crystal clear digital voice transmission.
• High flexibility due to the compatibility with other JDSU instruments such as
the T-BERD/MTS 8000, T-BERD/MTS 6000, or OFI-2000.
• New Visual Fault Locator Option
• Applications
• Enables secure and reliable communication through a fiber during fiber
installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
• Key Features
• More than 45 dB dynamic range, enabling communication across fibers of
more than 200km long.
• Unique power supply management system with 4-way powering.
• Robust, shock-proof, and splash-proof design for field operation
