Fiber Optic Testing

Loss Testing in Fibre Optic Cables

In the rapidly advancing world of telecommunications and data transmission, fibre optic technology stands as a cornerstone for high-speed, high-capacity networks. Unlike traditional copper cables, fibre optic cables utilise light to transmit data, allowing for greater bandwidth and significantly lower attenuation over long distances. However, to ensure the optimal performance and reliability of fibre optic networks, meticulous testing and maintenance is essential. One of the most critical aspects of this process is loss testing.

What is Fiber Testing?

Loss testing in fibre optic cables is a testing technique used to measure the amount of light lost as it travels through the cable. This loss, known as attenuation, can be caused by a variety of factors, including the quality of the fibre, splices, connectors, and environmental conditions. By identifying and quantifying these losses, technicians can assess the overall health of the network, identify potential issues, and ensure that the system meets the required performance standards.

The importance of loss testing cannot be overstated. As modern applications demand ever-increasing data rates and reliability, even minor losses can significantly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of communication systems. Regular loss testing helps in maintaining the integrity of the network, ensuring that it can handle the growing demands for data transmission with minimal disruption.

Excellent and I am very happy with the work that was carried out

I am extremely happy with the work James Hawtin from Hawtin Electrical carried out, I have used James twice now for different jobs and I will certainly keep his contact details if I need further work done, he keeps you informed when he is going to do the work, he is also a friendly person and I would recommend him to anyone.

Carolyn Littlemore, Oxford April 2021

All done quickly and thoroughly

James came and sorted out a light switch, checked out the circuit and tested the RCDs for us. The job was done quickly and thoroughly. He was friendly and cleared up everything afterwards.

Oxford, January 2021

Professional, friendly and helpful

James Hawtin came at short notice to help find out where the fault lie with my underfloor heating, given this was Dec and freezing outside this was greatly appreciated. He was very knowledgeable and manage to find out where the problem was (with some faulty valves in a cupboard upstairs!) and as such I've managed to get a plumber in to fix the problem. We didn't know one but were happy to go with James' recommendation. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to someone else. Thank you!

Helpful, professional and polite service

We've had James Hawtin round several times over the last few months to do various electrical jobs around the house (fixing a dimmer switch, wiring a lamp, sorting out some fuse board issues...). He's always been professional and helpful, and has been good at checking up on longstanding problems. His prices are reasonable and he's been friendly and polite throughout.

James' job was to remove a bedroom ceiling light and replace it with a new fitting. He arrived promptly at the agreed time and completed the job quickly and efficiently within half-hour. This is the third or fourth time I've called on James to complete some electrical work and on each time he has done so to the highest standard. I would certainly use him again and would recommend him.

"James came into a new property I bought in Bicester, Oxfordshire and carried out an initial inspection which let me know what state the electrics were in. After the inspection and a further conversation with him, we decided to carry out some electrical work in the bathroom and garage as well as rewire the kitchen as we were replacing it anyway. All works were carried out neatly and tidily with all works tested and certificated which came in a nice folder keeping all our documents together. I would be happy to use James and Hawtin Electrical again knowing I would get a job well done". – Richard Garrett
