ADVANCED TESTING & FAULT FINDING

 Fibre optic cabling is often the backbone of most high-performing networks, both large and small. With network speeds increasing, so too has the demand for fibre optic cabling.

Fault finding is a big part of working with fibre because any small thing can affect the signals sent over the fibre from bends to poor splices which is why testing is very important when working on networks.

When testing fibre there many different factors to consider to ensure that everything your testing is correct and there isn’t any surprises when you come to commission the fibre. 

Here at Micron LTD We have a vast range of testing equipment for all different situations, this ensure we are fully able to diagnose, report and repair the problem. 

Our employees are all trained on Traditional OTDR, IOLM and PMD/CD. 

They are able to read every test trace from each test and are able to interpret any issues that may be presenting with the fibre, this in turn enables them to be able to know exactly where it is and what to do to fix the fault. 

 Test results are provided in a PDF format and IOLM/SOR files also available  

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a consequence of certain physical properties of optical fiber that result in distortion of optical pulses. These distortions result in dispersion of the optical pulse over time, as well as a reduction in peak power. While the outcome of PMD-induced distortion is similar to CD, it is not accumulated linearly, but stochastically. This means that its value cannot be predicted from one instant to the next, but its distribution (occurrence within a predictable range) can.
