Abstract
An SFP transceiver with integrated OTDR is used with a commercial Ethernet network termination unit and the OTDR functionality evaluated. We show length measurement readings within 90 m of those obtained from a dedicated commercial OTDR tester. The use of OTDR can reduce network downtime by quick reliable location of faults.
