This project investigates the effectiveness of a traditional Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) when it comes to the live monitoring process on a Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) system. An experiment was carried out to determine how well a traditional OTDR can detect the pre-identified...
