An optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) for testing and fault-finding fibre links. It sends short light pulses down the fibre and records the power and arrival time of light reflected and back-scattered along it, then plots returned power against distance.
The trace shows reflective events such as connectors and breaks, and non-reflective events such as splices and tight bends; the power difference between two points estimates the loss between them.
