Intracity Fiber Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Measurement equipment used in fiber engineering include OTDR, power meter, light source, and visual fault locator.

• OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) measures the time and intensity of light reflected back from fiber optic cables.

• Power meter measures the power of light transmitted through the fiber optic cable.

• Light source generates light that is transmitted through the fiber optic cable to measure its attenuation.

• Visual fault locator is used to locate faults in fiber op...read more

OTDR is used to test and troubleshoot fiber optic cables.

• Connect OTDR to fiber optic cable and set parameters

• Launch test and analyze results to locate faults or losses

• Use OTDR to measure distance to faults or splices

• Interpret OTDR trace to determine fiber characteristics

• OTDR can also be used for fiber optic network mapping

PLB stands for Polyethylene Lined Steel Pipe.

• PLB is a type of pipe used for underground fiber optic cables.

• It consists of a steel pipe with a polyethylene lining.

• The polyethylene lining protects the cable from moisture and other environmental factors.

• PLB is commonly used in urban areas where space is limited and underground installation is necessary.

• PLB is also known as HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipe.
