When light enters a different material ( from glass into air or from air
.into glass)is the speed changes
.This causes the light to bend or refract
.Light will always travel slower in the fiber material than in air
.The index of refraction for glass is approximately 1.50 or lower
.The index of refraction for air is exactly 1.00
In order to get the actual fiber optics length measurement using
OTDR, one is required to enter fiber optics index of refraction into
one of OTDR key parameters. The fiber optics index of refraction
.could be obtained from the fiber optics cable manufacturer
