Ensuring Signal Integrity in Your Network
The foundation of a reliable fiber optic network lies in the health and integrity of its fiber optic cables. Bixcod offers comprehensive OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry) and IOLM (Inspection Of Launch Mode) testing services to identify potential issues within your fiber optic cables and ensure optimal signal transmission.
Bixcod's Fiber Optic Testing Services:
- OTDR Testing: This technique transmits light pulses through the fiber optic cable and measures the backscattered light returned at various points along the cable length. Our technicians analyze the OTDR trace to identify potential issues like cable breaks, faults, macrobends, and signal attenuation points.
- IOLM Testing: This method assesses the launch mode characteristics of a fiber optic cable. By injecting light into the cable and analyzing its output modes, IOLM testing helps identify potential modal dispersion issues that can impact signal integrity, particularly in high-bandwidth applications.
