Fiberoptic.com Presents: Huawei’s embedded OTDR could reduce FTTx maintenance costs

Fiberoptic.com is excited to annouce Huawei Technologies Co Ltd.’s prototype optical transceiver with embedded optical time-domain reflectometer (eOTDR) functionality, which the company claims could significantly reduce the cost of troubleshooting in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks. An OTDR detects backscattered light in optical fibers and uses this information to compute the location of faults. Traditionally, FTTH maintenance...
