Consideration on the use of OTDRs to measure return loss of single-mode optical fibre connections

The purpose of this document is to describe a round robin on return loss of single mode optical fibre connections. This includes the description of the samples, the test procedures and test instrumentation, results and conclusions.

Überlegungen zur Verwendung von OTDRs zur Messung der Rückflussdämpfung von Einmoden-LWL-Verbindungen

Examen de l'utilisation de la réflectométrie optique dans le domaine temporel (OTDR) pour la mesure de l'affaiblissement de réflexion des connexions en unimodal

Vidiki uporabe OTDR za meritve povratnega slabljenja na povezavah enorodovnih optičnih vlaken

Namen tega dokumenta je opisati medlaboratorijski preskus povratne izgube enorodovnih optičnih povezav.  To vključuje opis vzorcev, preskusne postopke ter preskusne instrumente, rezultate in zaključke.

Introduction
The introduction of new types of optical fibre (i.e. ITU-T G.657, EN 60793-2-50 B6 type) and the differences
between manufacturers’ products cause a spread of up to 3 dB in the backscatter values (Bs) of available
telecommunications single mode fibre. The variation in this parameter can lead to large differences in measured
return loss (RL) of conn
