Connector point
Caused by a small gap between ferrules joined by a connector.
Refractive index varies at this gap which makes a reflection.

Introduction to OTDR
Connector point
Caused by stains on the tips of ferrules which disturbs the alignment
of the cores of fibers. Stains increase losses and reflections
※ Normal connector loss is less than 0.5dB
Stain
Open End
A Fresnel reflection occurs at breakage point or
edge of optical fiber where refractive index changes.
There is approximate 3% (-14.7dB) of reflection
when optical fiber is cut in perpendicular to the fiber.

Short Dead Zone (< 80cm)Short Dead Zone (< 80cm)
-- Killer spec. for FTTH testing
Accompanying the rapid proliferation of FTTH is a growing need for detection of
reflective events arising from short distance mechanical connections.
The AQ7275’s short event dead zone enables detection of closely spaced events in
cables installed in offices and customer premises.

Plug Check FunctionPlug Check Function
You can detect poor connections and dirty plugs.
The plug check function monitors the condition of the
optical connectors and displays an alarm if the connection
is not properly made.
This function is useful for checking for damage, dirt, or
other problems with optical plugs at the OTDR or on the
fiber under test. It is also useful for helping technicians to
remember to connect the fiber under test.
AQ7275 Features
Active Line AlarmActive Line Alarm
There may be concern that technicians inputting the OTDR
measurement signal into the communication line could
cause communication errors.
The active line alarm monitors the fiber’s optical power
level and displays an alarm message if it detects optical
power at or higher than a specified threshold level in order
to warn the technician not to mistakenly feed the signal into
the communication line.

In order to reduce the reflection, index-matching gel
can be used at the reflection point. In addition, the
injected power can be reduced by selecting a shorter
pulsewidth, selecting a reduced power setting
on the OTDR (some OTDRs provide this option), or
adding attenuation in the fiber before the reflection.
To avoid the appearance of the ghost reflection due to
incorrect range setting, set the distance range in more
than double of the optical fiber.
Example:
Fiber under test : 4km
→ Distance range should be:
5km, 10km, 20km 、・・・
AQ7275 Operation Guide
False Fresnel reflections, termed ghosts, on the trace waveform may be observed from
time to time.
Ghosts can be the result of a strong reflective event on the fiber, causing a large amount
of reflected light to be sent back to the OTDR, or an incorrect range setting during
acquisition.

Pulse width duration controls the amount of light that will be injected into the fiber.
The longer the pulse width means the more the light energy injected.
The pulse width has the following characteristics.
Short pulse width:
Allows events (reflection point and loss) that are close together to be
distinguish/measured separately.
However, long distance may not be measured.
Long pulse width:
Long distance can be measured.
However, multiple events that are close together may appear as a single event.
Optimal pulse width is acquired by using pulse width Auto function.

2 Ways Trace Analysis - For Accurate Splice Loss Measurement
by Bi-directional Testing
Merges the two traces measured from both
directions and finds the correct splice loss.
Connection loss in lines where optical fibers of
differing backscatter coefficients are connected
can differ depending on the direction.
In such cases, you can accurately determine the
loss by measuring in both directions and taking
an average
Multi Trace Analysis - For Evaluation of Multi core Fiber/Bending
Loss
Up to four traces can be overlaid on the
display for analysis and comparison.
This is useful for evaluating connection
point locations and loss after installing
multicore fiber.

Differential Trace Analysis - For Evaluation of Aged Deterioration/Bending
Loss
Displays the difference between two specified
traces.
Makes it simple to check aged deterioration of
fibers or connection points, or fluctuation in loss
between fibers, and other phenomena.
Section Analysis - For Evaluation of Total Return Loss
Finds the total return loss in specific
portions of the fiber.
This type of evaluation is often requested
because the multiple reflections from
optical fiber networks can affect signal
light from transmitters (cable TV etc.).

OTDR is a measurement instrument essential not only for FTTH but also for troubleshooting and maintenance.
It can be used on-site, in the central office, on top of a telephone pole, and in a utility hole.
This is an example of using OTDR through 1st splitter toward central office
We can see around 10dB loss at splitter point. We can observe the trace before and after splitter clealy.
In this case pulse width setting of OTDR is 100ns.

In this case pulse width setting of OTDR is 100ns.
Now let us see the OTDR trace when measuring the PON system using a 1 x 8 splitter at the central office.
There are six fibers with different lengths after the splitter and there is about 10dB loss at the 1 x 8 splitter point.
You can see a reflection at the far end of each fiber.
For example, when a 2 km fiber brakes, the reflection at the far end will occur at a difference location. You can specify the fiber breakage by measuring that location.

These are measurement examples using Yokogawa OTDR with incoming active signal.
Left data shows OTDR measurement result without filter. We can not see any trace, just noise.
Right data is taken by Built-in filter type OTDR. OTDR can measure fiber without any influence of
incoming active signal.
