These Micro PC-based OTDRs measure the attenuation in optical fibres and splices, as well as the length and the distance to any event, such as a break in the fibre link. The Micro OTDR is the perfect tool for the construction, maintenance and restoration of cable plants and also as an educational tool. The Micro OTDR is accurate to laboratory standards and both portable and rugged enough for field applications.
