5 Best Practices when OTDR testing any fiber network
Using the correct length of fiber: The length of the fiber cable used for OTDR testing should be long enough to provide an accurate representation of the entire network, but not so long...

Recommendations for Multimode Link Field Certification
Since the attenuation curve of a OM5 fiber between 850 and 1300nm is fairly linear, international standards will only require testing on the classical wavelength 850 and 1300nm.
