otsora vs MapYourOTDR

otsora is a private, on-device otdr trace viewer for fiber-optic technicians. open a .sor file from anywhere — files, airdrop, email — and get an instant analysis: · fiber length, total loss, optical return loss · per-event splice loss, reflectance, slope · vendor-quirk handling for exfo, viavi, anritsu, yokogawa, jdsu export any single-core analysis as a pdf link report. cable pro (subscription) · analyze a multi-core cable in one pass — 1 to 288 cores · ranked repair locations across cores (splice clusters within 200 m) · per-core verdict + end-event classification (cut, crushed, mated pc, off-route…) · attach a kml/kmz route and see exactly where on the map to send a crew · watermark-free cable + per-core pdf reports · 7-day free trial, then $12 / month, cancel anytime private by design — traces never leave the device. no account, no upload, no telemetry.

MapYourOTDR turns your iPhone or iPad into a full OTDR trace analyzer — read, interpret, and report on optical-fiber test data without the instrument's desktop software, and entirely offline. Open a Telcordia SR-4731 (.sor) file from any OTDR and get an interactive trace you can pinch-zoom, pan, and measure. Drop two markers to read the distance, loss, and attenuation across any span — the way you would on the instrument itself. WHAT IT DOES - Decode and plot .sor traces with full acquisition parameters - Automatic event classification — connectors, splices, gainers, ghosts, fiber end - A/B two-marker measurement: distance, 2-point loss, and dB/km - Link health score with a clear pass/fail verdict - ORL, section attenuation, uniformity, and a full loss-budget breakdown - Baseline comparison — overlay a commissioning trace and see exactly what changed - Bidirectional true splice loss — pair both directions and average out the backscatter bias (ITU-T G.650.3 method), with gainers resolved - Dual-wavelength macrobend detection — compare 1310 vs 1550 nm and flag bends that lose more at the longer wavelength - On-device PDF test reports, branded with your company and name - CSV export of the event table LEARN 23 illustrated, vendor-neutral topics covering dead zones, dynamic range, reflectance, ghosts, gainers, bidirectional testing, PON and splitter testing, multimode limits, OTDR variants, calibration, fiber types, and a field troubleshooting workflow. TOOLS Field calculators for distance, dead zone, reach from dynamic range, loss budget, optical-vs-route length, splitter loss, and averaging gain. SIMULATE Generate synthetic traces with seeded faults — connectors, splices, gainers, macrobends, ghost echoes — to practise reading them. PRIVACY No account, no tracking, no ads. Every trace is parsed, analyzed, and turned into a report on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Free to use: trace viewer, basic analysis, demo traces, the core simulator, and 7 LEARN topics. A one-time Pro unlock adds the full analysis engine, all 23 topics, every simulator fault, configurable thresholds, and PDF/CSV export. Built for fiber-optic field technicians and network engineers. Grounded in public standards — Telcordia SR-4731, ITU-T G.650.x / G.652 / G.657, IEC 61746, TIA-568.
