From one hillbilly to another. Good job. Ive not had to do OTDR yet because i mostly do cell tower work and they usually only require insertion loss tests with an OPM but im trying to learn more about fiber optics to help with my job and any future work. Thanks for the simple demonstration.

Yes sir happy too! I've always wanted to climb one of those.

So you don't have to connect anything on the other side of the run?

No sir you dont, it just shoots light waves down the fiber and they bounce back due to reflectance and the otdr reads those bounce backs to determine the events (splices, connections, end of fiber, etc).

All though, in some testing scenarios a company may require both a launch and receive reel. I will try to do a quick video to explain the application of those as best I can.

Is the fiber actually 7000 feet long?

The jumper you see in the pic is about 3 meters so you can subtract that out. But other than that, yes.

So, the 7000 feet of fiber are behind or after the patch panel?@@hillbillynetworks8605
