How Installers Use It (Quick Workflow)
-
Baseline & cleanliness: Clean connectors, verify launch/receive leads are good.
-
Set up OTDR: Choose wavelength(s), range, pulse width, and averaging. Use Auto for first look; switch to Expert to refine pulse/range for near- or far-end details.
-
Connect correctly: OTDR → launch cable/box → cable under test; optionally add a receive tail at the far end to see the last connector cleanly.
-
Run & analyze: View the trace and event map for reflection (connectors) and non-reflection (splices/bends) events, measure distances/losses, and save SOR/PDF/Excel.
-
Spot checks: Use the VFL for visible break/bend checks and the built-in OPM/LS pair for insertion-loss measurements (set a reference first).
Why the Built-In OPM + Light Source Matter
-
The laser source outputs a stabilized test signal at telecom wavelengths (same set as the OTDR module). Pair it with the OPM to measure received power and compute insertion loss. For accurate results, set a reference/baseline using a known-good short jumper before testing devices or links. A VFL is not a substitute for a stabilized source—it’s visible 650 nm and not power-stabilized.

Example Installer Scenario
A Mesa-to-Chandler campus link is failing intermittently. The tech connects the MOT-65 to a launch box, selects 1310/1550 nm with short pulse to resolve near-end connectors, then a longer pulse to profile the full span. The event map flags a mid-span non-reflective loss rise (bent fiber) and an end-connector reflection. After fixing the bend, the tech uses the built-in LS + OPM to log insertion loss at both wavelengths and exports a PDF/SOR report for the closeout packet.
Notes for New Technicians
-
Always verify the fiber is dark before OTDR testing (no live traffic light), and never stare into ports—laser hazard.
-
Use a launch (and ideally receive) cable to see the first and last events clearly.
-
For loss testing, set a reference with a short, clean jumper before measuring the device or span; repeat per wavelength.
-
Keep ports/caps clean; dust and oil cause false fails and poor reflectance.
