TECHNICAL NOTE: Measuring OTDR Reflectance and ORL
ORL can be measured using two measurement techniques: optical continuous wave reflectometry (OCWR) or optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR). Both techniques are described in IEC 61300-3

Introduction An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is the most powerful tool for characterizing fiber optic networks.
The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
The OTDR makes its measurements on the fiber, not the cable, so one must estimate the cable length. If you have a long length of cable with distances marked on it, you can measure it with the OTDR and
