Professional OTDR Fibre Testing

Accurate fibre testing is essential for verifying network performance and identifying faults before they impact connectivity. At Sissons Construction, we provide professional OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) fibre testing for telecommunications providers, contractors and network operators across the West Midlands and beyond. Whether you’re commissioning a new fibre network, validating an installation or investigating a fault, we deliver precise testing and detailed reporting you can rely on.

Using advanced OTDR equipment, our experienced engineers assess the performance of fibre optic cables, identifying splice loss, attenuation, connector issues and cable faults with pinpoint accuracy. Every test is carried out to industry standards, helping ensure your network is performing efficiently and ready for long-term operation.

Accurate Fault Detection & Network Verification

OTDR testing provides a complete picture of your fibre network, allowing faults and performance issues to be located without unnecessary excavation or disruption.

Our engineers use OTDR technology to measure fibre attenuation, verify splice quality, identify breaks, locate damaged sections of cable and confirm the overall integrity of the network. Whether testing newly installed fibre, investigating intermittent faults or supporting network maintenance, we provide detailed results that enable fast, informed decision-making and minimise downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) testing is a method of analysing fibre optic cables by sending pulses of light through the fibre and measuring the reflected signal. This allows engineers to assess the quality of the fibre link, identify faults and accurately measure the distance to any breaks or defects.

OTDR testing is typically performed after new fibre installations, following repairs, during network commissioning or when investigating connectivity issues. Regular testing helps confirm network performance and identify potential problems before they develop into service-affecting faults.

OTDR testing can identify fibre breaks, damaged cables, excessive attenuation, poor fusion splices, connector faults, macro bends and other issues that may reduce network performance. It also pinpoints the exact location of faults, making repairs quicker and more cost-effective.

Yes. We carry out OTDR testing for newly installed fibre infrastructure, existing telecommunications networks, commercial data installations and Full Fibre (FTTP) deployments. Whether you’re commissioning a new network or troubleshooting an existing one, we provide accurate testing and comprehensive reporting.

Our experienced telecommunications engineers use industry-standard OTDR equipment to deliver accurate testing, detailed fault analysis and reliable reporting. By identifying issues quickly and verifying network performance, we help clients commission, maintain and troubleshoot fibre networks with confidence, reducing downtime and ensuring long-term reliability.
