Once the cable is in place, LTE teams conduct two-way testing using top-of-the-line OTDR before jointing & Termination, in order to ensure that the cable is free from defects that may appear during laying / pulling of excavation work, and that there are no issues with the signal quality. Once cables are jointed end-to-end by LTE’s skilled manpower, the ends are terminated in ODFs and again tested using OTDR to ensure that the end to end signal loss is with the limits defined in customer specifications.”
