Timbercon introduces OTDR delay module
Timbercon introduces their Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Delay Module, designed to eliminate the dead spot associated with OTDR testing for optical network analysis.
Timbercon, the fibre optic product and solution manufacturing company providing a vast array of connectivity solutions, introduces their Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Delay Module, designed to eliminate the dead spot associated with OTDR testing for optical network analysis Timbercon's OTDR Delay Module is used to create a sufficient lead or distance from the OTDR to the fibre cable or network under test

Speedy route to custom fibre-optic products
A novel online product builder allows visitors to the Timbercon website to build, specify, request information, or request a quotation for custom fibre-optic products, saving valuable time and effort.
Loopback features variable attenuation
Timbercon has released a variable attenuated version of its flagship product, the Armadillo loopback.
This added distance enables the OTDR to accurately analyse short length fibres accurately and more effectively.
OTDR's analyse fibres and optical networks by measuring the backscatter of light.
The characteristics of the light reflected are analysed in order to determine the location of any fibre breaks or other faults in the fibre cable.
OTDR's are commonly used for testing both long distance and short distance fibre cables to ensure adequate performance from splices and connections in the network.
Timbercon's OTDR Delay Modules are well suited for use with either relatively short fibre cables or networks and are able to locate individual events, such as bad connections or splices, and bends or breaks in the fibre where light may be lost.
The OTDR Delay Module is constructed with a portable rugged enclosure with several fibre lengths, ideal for either labouratory or field applications.
Each Delay Module is available in one or two channel configurations with single mode or multimode fibre, and a variety of connector options.
"Timbercon's OTDR Delay Module provides a simple, portable, and easy to use solution for eliminating OTDR dead spots in optical testing and analysis," stated Sean Gitt, Marketing Director for Timbercon.
"With several standard and custom options available, we have a delay module to fit just about every OTDR and application on the market".
