OTDR Launch Cable Box
Pulse suppressor cables, dead zone eliminators, dummy fibers,
delay lines, launch cords, launch leads, receive cables or fiber rings
Description
OTDR Launch Cables are designed to be used in conjunction with an OTDR to measure complete link loss of fiber. They help minimize the effects of the OTDR's launch pulse on measurement uncertainty. They are also known as pulse suppressor cables, dead zone eliminators, dummy fibers, delay lines, launch cords, launch leads, receive cables, or fiber rings.
It is recommended that the OTDR launch cable be longer than the dead zone. The shorter 150 meters lengths are ideal for premises fiber network test applications. We also carry single-mode OTDR launch cables of 500 meters and 1000 meters for broadband, and long-haul fiber network test applications. Launch cables are offered in a variety of connector styles including SC, ST, LC, FC, E2000, etc.
Available in different configurations and fiber lengths.
