DESCRIPTION
BS EN 61746:2001
This standard BS EN 61746:2001 Calibration of optical time-domain reflectometers (OTDRs) is classified in these ICS categories:
33.180.01 Fibre optic systems in general
17.180.30 Optical measuring instruments
33.180.99 Other fibre optic equipment
Provides procedures for calibrating single-mode optical time domain reflectometers (ODTRs). It only covers ODTR measurement errors and uncertainties. The ODTR must be equipped with a minimum feature set: programmable index of refraction, display of a trace representation, two cursors, absolute distance measurement, displayed power level relative to a reference level. It does not cover correction of the ODTR response.
