Fiber Optic Testing

Fiber optic testing involves evaluating fiber optic cables to ensure they function correctly and efficiently. This process checks for signal strength, clarity, and potential issues such as breaks or bends in the cable that can cause data loss. Technicians use specialized tools like optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDR) to send light through the fibers and measure how it behaves. By analyzing the results, they can identify problems, confirm installation quality, and ensure optimal performance in transmitting data, internet, and telecommunications signals. Regular testing helps maintain reliable connections in both residential and commercial networks.
