FTTH Network Monitoring and Innovative Certification Method from CO - Hosted by FTTH Council Americas

• Out-of-band OTDR without any end-of-line reflective termination
• Out-of-band OTDR with large-band reflectors (i.e., reflecting strongly at 1600 nm and above)
• Out-of-band OTDR with narrow-band reflectors (i.e., reflecting strongly only at specific wavelengths [e.g., 1650 nm]) 

This presentation will show and discuss the various available solutions and their respective pros and cons. Finally, a new methodology will be presented to certify new PON installations from the central office using a 1310 nm OTDR, a 1490 nm OTDR and a broadband reflector.
