How to Save Money and Time in Testing Fibers with SmartLoop
The only way to get correct values when performing Tier 2 testing of duplex fiber links with an OTDR is via bidirectional testing that averages the measurements taken from both ends of the link.
Bidirectional testing used to involve testing the fiber from one end, walking the OTDR to the other end to test again and then averaging the two values to get the results—and it had to be done for each link.

Testing New Cable Tester in 2017
Chegou novamente a hora de apresentar nossas previsões para as maiores tendências em testes no próximo ano.
Obviamente, a internet das coisas (IoT) continuará sendo uma grande impulsionadora no cabeamento de todos os tipos de redes - desde LAN, onde veremos mais dispositivos do que nunca conectados por cabos de par trançado de cobre, até centros de dados, onde a demanda para cabos de fibra de alta velocidade continua a crescer - à medida em que as empresas enfrentam a necessidade de acessar, transmitir e armazenar um volume de dados sem precedentes.

Testes de cabo 101: There's No Gain with "Gainers"
Akin to water flowing from a small pipe into a large pipe, gainers are essentially perceived increases in optical power that occur at splice points due to variations in fiber characteristics, including core diameter, numerical apertures, mode field diameters and backscatter coefficients.
