How the system works
Apply the test access modules, OTDR, and the optical REFLECTORs onto the PON system.- The OTDR scans the distribution lines to detect reflection at the reflectors with no interference to the service.
- When the line breaks the reflection at the ONUcan not reach to the OTDR.
- The system operator can identify from the remote office whether the cause of the failure is a line breakage or a device failure.
