IEC 62316, which is a Technical Report, aims to provide guidelines for the interpretation of backscattering traces, as obtained by traditional optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) – not including polarization OTDRs – for single-mode fibres. Also, backscattered power effects are discussed in case of unidirectional trace.
Full description of the test measurement procedure can be found in Annex C of IEC 60793-1-40:2001.dition 3.0 2017-07 TECHNICAL REPORT colour inside Guidance for the interpretation of OTDR backscattering traces for single-mode fibres IEC TR 62316:2017-07(en) THIS PUBLICATION IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED Copyright ？ 2017 IEC, Geneva, Switzerland All rights reserved.
