OTDR Product Specific Questions
A: If you only wish to test from the ONT to the splitter (not through the splitter), you can either use PON OTDR with Test = Customer Fiber Only, or you can use Full Auto (Point-to-Point).

Wavelength-division multiplexers can be tricky to test because they require sources at a precise wavelenth and spectral width, but otherwise the test procedures are similar to other passive

Once installed, the splitter simply becomes one source of loss in the cable plant and is tested as part of that cable plant loss for insertion loss testing. Testing splitters with an OTDR is not the same in each

Use the shortest pulse width to check the front end including the first connector of the link. Use larger pulse width to reach longer distances and/or to characterize optical splitter (for FTTH/PON).
