OTDR Trace

Instead of a Full Path trace, you can enter a specified distance, typically taken from an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR), along the fiber network. This is most commonly used to find a fault location.
  1. After locating and clicking your desired port or fiber strand (if starting the trace from within a splice point), change the trace type to OTDR.
  2. Type in the distance provided by the reflectometer, then click Trace.

  3. The application provides a one-line diagram up to the distance provided.
  4. Further, it displays the fault location at the end of the diagram and on the map.
