An optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) is a device used to measure the loss of signal in an optical fiber. The signal loss is represented in decibels (dB) on the OTDR display. Decibels are a logarithmic unit used to express the ratio between two power levels. In the case of an OTDR, the decibel measurement indicates the amount of signal loss that occurs as the light travels through the fiber. The higher the decibel value, the greater the signal loss. Therefore, decibels are the appropriate unit to represent signal loss on an OTDR display.
