  • Author: Mario Simard, Michel Leblanc
Optimizing the performance of an OTDR and the iOLM software application starts with low refl ectance, as higher refl ectance tends to stretch the dead zones. When testing an FTTx network, the impact of refl ectance on performance is even greater, because of the large loss associated with a splitter. Contrary to UPC connectors, APC connectors usually maintain low refl ectance-even when they are dirty or worn-which ensures optimum testing performance.
