Better than just a light test from a laser so you can provide signal reports of the newly installed fiber in Philadelphia or New Jersey teams.

Testing fiber network cabling is crucial to ensure reliable performance and to diagnose potential issues. Here are the top 10 ways to test fiber network cabling during installation:
1. Visual Inspection: Before any testing, inspect the fiber optic cables and connectors for physical damage or contamination. Look for bends, kinks, or scratches that could affect performance.
2. Continuity Testing: Use a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) to check for continuity in the fiber optic cabling. The VFL emits a visible laser light that helps you identify breaks or severe bends in the fiber.
3. Optical Power Meter and Light Source Testing: Measure the optical power and loss in the fiber using an optical power meter and a calibrated light source. This helps ensure the fiber meets the specified performance standards and that there are no significant losses.
4. Insertion Loss Testing: Test the insertion loss (also known as attenuation) to measure how much signal is lost as it travels through the fiber. This is done using a light source and power meter to ensure the loss is within acceptable limits.
5. Return Loss Testing: Measure return loss (or reflectance) to determine how much light is reflected back towards the source. High return loss indicates less reflection and better performance.
6. OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) Testing: Use an OTDR to perform a time-domain reflectometry test. This tool sends a pulse of light through the fiber and measures the time it takes for reflections to return. It provides a detailed view of the fiber's length, attenuation, and any faults or splices.
7. End-to-End Testing: Verify that the fiber performs correctly from one end to the other by testing end-to-end connections. This ensures that the entire length of the cable is functioning as expected.
8. Connector Testing: Test the connectors for insertion loss and return loss. Poorly made or dirty connectors can significantly impact performance, so it's crucial to ensure they meet specifications.
9. Polarity Testing: Check the polarity of the fiber connections to ensure that the transmit and receive fibers are correctly aligned. Incorrect polarity can result in failed communications.
10. Documentation and Certification: Document all test results and ensure that the installation meets industry standards and certifications, such as those from the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) or the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
By following these steps, you can help ensure that your fiber network cabling is installed correctly and performs reliably.

Once again, another incredible video 🔥 Super helpful and informative

[@BridgeCable]

Thanks @JonardTools - Send over any units for us to review. We produce the videos for our local onsite teams. Inhouse is okay for training....but having these videos while trying to install.....VERY HELPFUL :) Good product...thanks for making!
