Fibre Testers verify the performance and integrity of optical fibre cabling by measuring signal loss and length, and by locating faults along the run. This range is built around Trend Networks equipment, covering OTDR, visual inspection and Tier 1 certification for multimode and singlemode fibre.
Choosing a fibre tester
- OTDR for locating faults and measuring loss along longer fibre runs
- Visual optical fibre inspection to check connector end faces before connecting
- Tier 1 fibre certification for verifying and documenting a completed installation
- Multimode or singlemode testing, covering OM1, OM3, OM4 and OS2 fibre categories
See OTDR, Visual Optical Fibre Inspection and Tier 1 Fibre Certification. For copper testing see Copper Testers.
Fibre Testers FAQs
What is the difference between an OTDR and a Tier 1 certifier?
An OTDR locates faults and measures loss and length along a fibre run, while Tier 1 Fibre Certification equipment verifies and documents that a completed link meets the required standard.
Do I need to inspect connectors before testing?
Yes, Visual Optical Fibre Inspection checks connector end faces for dirt or damage before you connect and test, which avoids false readings and damaged equipment.
Can the same tester check multimode and singlemode fibre?
Yes, testers in this range cover both multimode categories such as OM1, OM3 and OM4 and singlemode OS2 fibre, so one kit can handle mixed installations.
