Hi!
Currently, I have a lot of problems with my fibers (MMF and SMF). The fibers have been installed by a local company some years ago, but some of them do not operate on 10GbE, some also not on 1GbE.
To cut a long story short:
I want to be able to verify the fibers, if they have damages or if they are not installed properly.
Can you recommend me a setup <5000$ to do this?
My first try was:
2x Mikrotik-router with SFP+-Modules
--> Shows up input/output-level
--> Can REALLY show, if 10GbE is possible
--> does not show length or details about problem
--> not very handy
Second idea:
Simple Optical Power Meter
--> Easy to use
-->handy
--> very unprecise
Third idea:
OTDR
--> Too expensive...
Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Phil
