Low Cost OTDR Adapters Stimulating Growth in the Global Portable OTDR Market: Technavio Report

LONDON - Sept. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- TechNavio, the independent tech-focused global research firm, has published a report on the Global Portable OTDR Market 2014-2018, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.89 percent from 2013-2018.

Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is an electronic-optical instrument, with a combination of a laser source and a detector that is used to characterize optical fiber. It accesses only one end of the fiber and makes multiple measurements used to reveal defects and faults, and determines the amount of signal loss at any point in a single optical fiber or a complete network. They are widely used by network constructors, service providers, and operators to characterize each component of the link, pinpoint a potential problem with the fiber, or to find fault within the network.

“Recent advances in portable OTDR technology combined with benefits such as improved durability, reduced power consumption, compact size, higher portability, superior performance, and cost-saving features are making portable OTDRs an attractive proposition for numerous markets, industries, and applications,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.
