Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a method for serving multiple independent "fiber-to-the-floor" customers in large buildings by using emerging CWDM equipment. We demonstrate installation and in-service testing techniques using CWDM OTDR, evaluating "signal-to-OTDR" and "OTDR-to-signal" impairments.
