ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber inspecting system comprises a waveform measuring unit for measuring an OTDR waveform for an optical fiber and a waveform evaluating unit for evaluating an anomaly within the optical fiber through a use of the measured waveform. The waveform evaluating unit comprises a calculating part and a detecting part. The calculating part calculates the gradient and the amount of change in gradient of the waveform at each time point by means of a gradient calculating section and a gradient change amount calculating section. The detecting part determines whether or not the gradient and the amount of change in gradient are within a defined allowable range of gradient and a defined allowable range of amount of change, respectively, by way of a gradient determining section and a gradient change amount determining section.
