4. Get Ahead with the Future
OTDR Link Test (FTTH Active Ethernet NOC
• Fibre link testing was done
from the main distribution
cabinet to a random MDU Each
P2P connection has 2 fibers
• The VeEX OPX BOX OTDR was
connected to a launch fiber box
of 200m length
• Termination point known (non-
leased property)
• The test was made on 2 fibers,
first fiber was tested before
and after cleaning and the
second fiber was tested only
after cleaning
• All tests were made at 1310 nm
