Testing a splitter or other passive fiber optic devices like switches is little different from testing a patchcord or cable plant using the two industry standard tests, OFSTP-14 for double-ended loss (connectors on both ends) or FOTP-171 for single-ended testing. Optical splitters are usually used in passive optical networks (PONs) to distribute fiber to individual homes or businesses. What benefits are there to network monitoring your system? While most people assume network monitoring is only for system. StrataSync is a cloud-hosted, web enabled solution that provides asset, configuration, and test-data management of VIAVI instruments. It enables superior workflow by defining tasks (jobs), allocation to a tech, management and tracking of test instruments, collecting and analyzing results from the. Abstract: Monitoring beyond the splitter in a PON is costly due to the need for additional hardware. A non-standard monitoring wavelength can reduce cost and increase the visibility of customers to 97% on a C+ GPON.
