Testing of any fibre installation is one of the most important steps in ensuring your installation is working to its full capability.

As an integral part of the Purple Communications live network diagnostics & fault finding process, we OTDR test each installation to assure our customers of the adequacy of their installation. Each customer is then presented with test results of all readings for future reference.

As an additional exceptional service, we area also able to offer the 24hr hire of an engineer and OTDR equipment anywhere within the UK for certification and fault finding.

Every fibre optic cabling link we install will be tested in accordance with the field test specifications defined by the ISO/IEC 11801 standard or by the appropriate network application standard(s). Purple Communications perform fibre testing to Tier 1 (Light Loss and Length Readings) & Tier 2 (OTDR Trace) Certification. The OTDR is a full featured Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)
