Vicom OTDR Selection GuideList 1: All OTDR Models |

NOTE: “Approx Distance” below refers to the approximate fibre distance that can accurately be certified based on 0.2dB/km fibre loss @ 1550nm (0.22dB for 1625/1650 only OTDRs) & 0.1dB splices every 2km. Note too that for the same distance, test times reduce with dynamic range increase – roughly half the test time for every 2-3dB increase in dynamic range.
Measurement Range (range of accurate measurement) is approx 8 dB less than Dynamic Range (range to find end-of-fibre)
