What OTDRs do you use? : r/FiberOptics
We use a few maxtesters, one FTB2-Pro (what a brick to take to FTTH customers) and one FTB1-Pro. What bothers us the most is that the maxtesters get sooooo slow after only a few months of use.
AppNote142 Selecting the right OTDR
To make the right choice, five fundamental parameters must be considered when purchasing an OTDR, as selecting a unit simply based on overall performance and price will lead to problems if the
Europacable Technical newsletter Optical time domain reflectometer
