The first stage of FTTH network deployment is to qualify your network. Download the whitepaper, “Qualifying FTTH Network before Equipment Installation,” to learn how to avoid the #1 cause of troubleshooting in optical networks. This document sets the test requirements for qualifying the fiber portion of a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network prior to equipment installation and turn-up. The steps for this stage are: testing connectors and connections and qualifying the loss, optical return loss (ORL), and distance of the link, using either an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) or loss test set. Various access points can be used in qualifying the FTTH network.
