Whether you're a Network Engineer responsible for preparing your network for new applications, or a Cabling Contractor certifying new fiber links, an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) can be a powerful tool for you. "How to Choose an OTDR for Enterprise Fiber Testing" is the first available webcast in a series of five on-demand webcasts from Fluke Networks. This short webcast will give you a comprehensive understanding of OTDRs, various use models, and what is important to consider when choosing the right OTDR for your organization.
