OTDR Testing Procedure. An OTDR shall be used to measure and document splice losses and connector losses. To correctly identify abnormalities at a short range, a 100-meter or longer launch cable must be used between the OTDR and the fiber under test. This launch cable should be the same used for all OTDR tests for all fibers and sites. Bi-directional traces shall be acquired for each fiber. If the connection of the launch cable to the patch panel requires optimization by the operator, sampling acquisition will commence upon completion of the optimization. Each fiber will be identified, and the results of the test for each fiber will be recorded as indicated below in the section “Test Data File Names.” The test will be repeated for each of the fibers linking a particular site. All tests will be made at 1310 nm. and 1550nm.
