Fiber network investigation and audit

Our company provides various kind of fiber optic engineering services which include fiber installation, splicing and jointing, network  maintenance and also the fiber network fault investigation and audit. On 4th August 2010, we attend and visit one of fiber optic network faulty site at TUDM Shah Alam after receiving instruction from our client. One of their fiber optic network connectivity failed.


1. Investigate all the fiber network connectivity elements inside the rack


2. Test the optical fiber with industrial OTDR and get the length distance


3. Don't forget to inspect the SFP module to confirm its functionality. Working SFP module shall transmit signal on Tx port


4. Inspect the patchcord, adaptor, splicing point, etc


5. Measure the distance shown in the OTDR and open the suspected manhole


6. Confirm the exact size of the cable diameter since there are few cables running inside the same manhole


7. Gotcha ! The fiber optic cable bending and give substantial loss where the signal could not go through
