Fiber optic fault locator
Fiber optic cables have replaced traditional telephone cables as the cable of choice for telecommunication. Although fiber optic cables have many advantages over traditional copper cables, fiber optic cables are still subject to breakage or other damage during installation or use. Optical fiber connections are generally very susceptible to contamination with dirt and fluids, scratches, dust and so on, which can cause faults, such as increased insertion loss, higher bit error rate, or signal degradation to the fiber connection and the traffic signal on the fiber. Accordingly, the demand for test equipment capable of detecting and locating faults in fiber optic cables has increased in recent years. Currently, the two primary types of equipment for detecting and locating faults in fiber optic cables are optical time domain reflectometers (OTDR's) and optical fault locators. Optical time domain reflectometers, OTDR, are used in the telecommunications industry for examining fiber optic cables to locate discontinuities or breaks that affect the signal transmission quality through the cable.
