Fiber optic testing is vital for ensuring optimal network performance and includes a range of procedures tailored to meet rigorous standards. At Coastal Fiber, we conduct two fundamental types of fiber optic tests:
Tier 1 Testing focuses on measuring insertion loss or attenuation on the link. This test accurately gauges how much light signal is lost from point A to point B, providing a clear indicator of the fiber link’s efficiency.
Tier 2 Testing offers a deeper analysis by examining individual events along the fiber link. It helps identify the location of connections or faults, making it easier to pinpoint trouble spots and assess loss levels, which, when combined with Tier 1 results, can predict overall link functionality.
Enhanced Testing Procedures
We prioritize safety and precision while working in sensitive environments, which often house the endpoints of the fiber components we test. These components are meticulously photographed, located, and annotated to deliver a comprehensive testing package to our clients promptly.
Before Testing Procedures
Our standard protocol involves using the best industry fiber optic testing equipment to capture images of even the minutest defects. This includes identifying unwanted bends or losses near endpoints and documenting each fiber detail according to specific customer needs.
