Applications for OTDR Testing

SLM (Smart Link Mapper)

Icon-based map view of OTDR events and instant PASS / FAIL display for easy OTDR results interpretation and analysis. The SLM intelligent optical software application helps technicians use an OTDR more effectively, without the need to understand or interpret OTDR results. Each event is displayed as an icon giving users a schematic view of the entire link, known as SmartLink.


With this common approach to simplify OTDR testing and streamline the procedures, four tailored SLM OTDR applications are available for different network types. (see Application Options below)


Benefits:

  • Eliminates OTDR results interpretation complexity
  • Immediately diagnoses problems
  • Reduces human error
  • Improves OTDR testing time and reliability
  • Reduces truck rolls, re-test, and cable waste


Features:

  • Directly correlates SmartLink view results and OTDR trace
  • Automatic PASS / FAIL results
  • Eliminates the need for OTDR expertise
  • Compatible with all multi-mode / single-mode and OTDR modules
  • Enabled on SmartOTDR and all recent T-BERD / MTS-2000, -4000 ,-6000A, and -8000 OTDR platforms
  • Upgradable on site


Application Options

Enterprise & Datacenters (Enterprise-SLM):

  • Self-setting OTDR with pre-defined SmartConfigTM - SmartConfig includes pre-set acquisition parameters and label format
  • Cable label format per the TIA-606 standards
  • Icon-based map view of the link and events (SLM)
  • PASS / FAIL alarm criteria per the TIA / IEC standards TIA.568.3, ISO / IEC 11801, ISO / IEC 14673-3
  • Project management capability to easily control and document all the tested fiber
  • Management of an optical switch to test MPO cable
  • Automatic PDF report generation


FTTA, C-RAN & DAS (FTTA-SLM):

  • Tailored OTDR application for Cell Tower, Rooftops, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) and Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RAN)
  • Customized setup menus with FTTA parameters and terminology
  • Automatic selection of best acquisition parameters
  • OTDR signal analysis based on FTTA applications
  • Smart algorithm to automatically detect and identify the network


Cable Commissioning (Cable-SLM):

  • Optimized workflow, from testing against expected procedures to direct reporting
  • Project view to easily control and document all the tested fibers
  • Provide automation and consistency in managing an entire cable’s commissioning
  • Handle list of labels or cable routes
  • Allow controlling an optical switch to test MPO cable
