Abstract
A teaching laboratory experiment to measure the main engineering parameters of an optical fibre is described. Using relatively inexpensive equipment, the fibre length, attenuation per unit length and bandwidth-distance product of a PCS fibre are calculated. The approach is easily adaptable for use by 2nd year or final year undergraduates and M.Sc. course students, depending upon the detail and complexity presented in the experimental script.
