Micro-OTDR Full Specs

How does this fiber fault detection technology work? Whenever the data link breaks, a pulse of light is instantly shot through the optical fibers and is reflected back. The timing on the returned pulse pinpoints the location of the fault.

Integration with Alarm Monitoring


Detecting a fault is just the first step in the equation. Ideally, whenever the data link is broken, you should quickly be notified (via email, SMS text message, phone call, SNMP, etc.). With support for up to 64 devices, the T/Mon provides thorough coverage over all Micro-OTDR fault detectors.

Without the right visibility, a fault could go unnoticed for far too long. The T/Mon provides the means to keep you apprised of all faults and breaks in your fiber transports.

Applications

Micro OTDR in action
During fiber cut, SFP modules with built-in micro-OTDRs send distance to cut as SNMP traps.

The key to avoiding outages caused by fiber faults is early detection. With advanced notification of broken links and faults, you'll instantly get the upper hand in preventing outages. How does this fiber fault detection technology work? Whenever the data link breaks, a pulse of light is instantly shot through the optical fibers and is reflected back. The timing on the returned pulse pinpoints the location of the fault.
