USING SETS OF OTDR RECEIVE FIBERS WITH DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF MARKER EVENTS TO VERIFY OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTIVITY

摘要

A test receiver for use with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR), including a first receive fiber having a first attribute, and a second receive fiber having a second attribute different from the first attribute. The attributes may be lengths, marker events, or both. This configuration reduces the number of times an OTDR operator must travel back and forth between cable ends when testing fibers.
