Introduction

Signal degradation and loss are critical concerns for network operators. In this regard, Mode Conditioners play a crucial role in identifying and analyzing the impact of tight bends, bad splices, and cladding defects. By redistributing light into higher order modes, these Mode Conditioners enable the Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR) system to provide valuable insights for fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.

Addressing Bad Splices

Improper alignment of fibre ends during splicing can cause signal loss and degradation. Mode Conditioners redistribute light into higher order modes, allowing the OBR system to detect and analyze the effects of bad splices. This helps network operators quickly identify and rectify faulty splices, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of the fibre network.

Detecting Cladding Defects

Cladding defects can significantly impact multimode fibre performance. Mode Conditioners accurately detect and analyze these defects by redistributing light into higher order modes. This information allows network operators to proactively address cladding defects and ensure the overall integrity of the fibre network.

Enhancing Fault Analysis for Multimode Fibre

Mode Conditioners are essential add-ons for Luna's OBR products when working with multimode fibre. They increase the sensitivity of the OBR system to faults caused by tight bends, bad splices, and cladding defects. This enhanced fault analysis capability empowers network operators to quickly identify and rectify issues, ensuring optimal performance and reliability of the multimode fibre network.
