OTDR: Product-Specific Questions
Q: How do you setup the unit to tell it you have 2 or 3 splitters? A: To test through multiple splitters, multiply together the split ratios and set the PON Split Ratio to that value.

Technicians must setup the OTDR to test through MUXs (Not A PON) or Splitters (PON) because different test parameters are required to test through WDM versus Splitters.

How to Test Optical Splitter by OTDR
It is difficult to test splitters by OTDR, especially to test high ratio splitters like 1: 64 or 1:128.
Fiber Optic Testing Standards
These initial splices are to be tested uni-directionally with an OTDR at 1550nm. If the measured loss of a splice is greater than a 0.30 dB the contractor must break the splice, then re-splice the fiber/s until
