I love, "im going to zoom into this connector... its wonderful", I love hearing the love and expertise and joy of explaining things you are good at doing, and this is one of those examples :)
Hi Kevin, flat out best video on OTDR analysis for sure with some real gem tips. I've watched a few of your videos now and I consider them to be exemplary 10/10 from me. Once a fibre man always a fibre man. All the best from the South Coast of England. 👍
Once you got to 9:50, it made sence how to read otdr reflective events after explaning what reflection is... I have been looking for this for awhile...
Thank you all for the nice comments. I do not know why I no longer have a high quality version of this. This is a old video I did not only is the file size smaller but so was I LOL.
Quick question Kev, I am on an Offshore substation build, we have MM ans SM links, the company is insisting we use an OTDR to get results, I would much rather use an OLTS. The longest cable is probably 75m, Can I ask your thoughts on using an OTDR ovr such short lengths? I personally think oyu would not get an accurate test result and would have to switch off all parameters on the EXFO to get any kind of pass.. What do you think? Many thanks, Rich
Hi, We recently entered into an agreement with a telecommunication company that requires us to measure the lengths of fiber optic cables in specific areas using an OTDR device. As a test, we began measurements from a point known as the Optic Line Terminal (OLT) in one area, using the OTDR device in FTTH mode. This resulted in the generation of 50-60 PDF reports. Our current challenge is processing these OTDR results to determine the total lengths of the cables in the specified area accurately. The difficulty arises because some cables follow the same route before diverging to different neighborhoods. If we simply sum the lengths from the PDFs, we will end up with inaccurate and unrealistic results due to the overlapping routes. We need to identify and deduct these common, mutually used distances to get an accurate total length. We are struggling with pinpointing these overlapping routes/distances. Could you please assist us in resolving this issue?
Hi Sir. I have EXFO FTB-1 OTDR but when I press the power button there's no screen display, still in black screen only. Do you know what's the problem and how to repair it?
