Understanding OTDRs
On the other hand, an OTDR provides a plot of distance versus signal level in a fiber, and this information is extremely useful in knowing where to find a problem in the fiber.

The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
OTDRs should not be used for measuring insertion loss in the fiber optic cable - that task is better left to a fiber optic test source and power meter. OTDRs simply show you where the cables are terminated
