The event Web site at: http://www.pof2013.org.br/ .In this work, a low cost fiber-fault location technique in full-duplex plastic optical fiber links is reported. The employed method consists of using real time measurements of overlaid optical supervision signals employed simultaneously at both ends of the plastic fiber link during operation, comparing the decay time detection at both ends of the link when a fiber fault occurs. The proposed technique is successfully demonstrated over Graded Index (GI) Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) links6application/pdfeng© 2013 Plastic Optical Fiber Trade OrganizationAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 EspañaFault locationgraded-index POFoptical time domain reflectometeroptical frequency domain reflectometertime-of-flight.conference paperElectrónicaIngeniería IndustrialÓpticaopen access124129The 22nd International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibers (POF 2013): ProceedingsCC/0000021977
