OTDR–OLTS Analysis to Reduce Truck Rolls and Retest

This webinar covers tips and techniques to further your understanding of OTDR and OLTS testing. Join Kevin Peres from EXFO as he shares tips to optimize OTDR settings, including pulse width and averaging time. He will cover common issues such as misconfiguration, bad launch cables, and dirty connectors and explain how to identify and resolve these issues quickly.

Key takeaways:

• Understanding loss and reflection and how they contribute to the health of the fiber and test results
• Determining the best range, pulse width, and duration for your test application
• Optimizing setup for troubleshooting versus high-count fiber testing
• Validating results before you leave the job site
• File naming conventions and improving close-out package workflow
