摘要: A method offering the capacity for safe in service testing of optical network using time domain reflectometer is disclosed. The utilizes end equipment devices having filters designed to reject specific frequency range, and preferably a range that lies between two desired ranges. signal used specifically selected be within rejected range. selection allows use without effecting frequencies, as well minimizing damage sensitive components devices.
