Fiber Characterization Testing

With the implementation of higher gigabit systems placed daily into modern optical networks, fiber characterization has become a necessary addition to the normal test data provided to the equipment provisioning technicians. Fiber characterization is the evaluation of an installed fiber path against a given set of optical requirements. Characterization testing consists of a five step process designed to evaluate the transmission ability of a selected optical fiber pair from equipment jumper to equipment jumper.
