Follow these steps: Connect the OTDR to the fiber via an adapter or launch cable. The OTDR is also commonly used to create a "picture" of fiber optic cable when it is newly installed. All are written in the same straightforward format: what equipment do you need, what are the procedures for testing, options in implementing the test, measurement errors and documenting the results. If your network goes down because of a break in a fiber cable or a defect in thousands of feet of fiber resulting in attenuation an OTDR can be used to trace the distance from the Transaction point to the faulty point of the optical line.
