Fibre Optic Testing

Our team of skilled engineers carry out Fibre Optic Testing of both single mode and multi-mode variants of fibres. With demand for fibre optics increasing for several applications across the global energy market, our testing capabilities allow for continued connectivity, ensuring the best possible safety and productivity in the harshest of environments.

Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) testing is performed to prove the fibre optic tubes can transmit required levels of light without significant loss in accordance with specifications laid down in BS-EN-50173. An OTDR injects a series of optical pulses into the fibre that is being tested. The OTDR measures the time and intensity of the light reflected and displays a final trace of the attenuation over distance.
