Gain a competitive advantage with the compact, easy to integrate VIAVI iOTDR™ cards and software. VIAVI iOTDR cards provide NEMS with the capability to help customers accurately locate fiber faults that degrade network traffic. Ensure high availability network services by identifying physical faults causing latency, jitter service quality issues and network outages. Protect data by detecting fiber security intrusion attacks. For use in xWDM, FTTX, PON, 4G/5G Fiber networks.

Accelerate your iOTDR integration design process by leveraging VIAVI professional services expertise to assist while you integrate and test the Nano or Micro iOTDR cards within a larger system.

¹Laser at 25°C and measured at 10 μs.
²The one way difference between the extrapolated backscattering level at the start of the fiber and the RMS noise level, after 3 minutes averaging and using the largest pulse width. ³Measured at ±1.5 dB down from the peak of an unsaturated reflective event using the shortest pulse width.
⁴Measured at ±0.5 dB from the linear regression using a -55dB type reflectance and using the shortest pulse width.
