AFL FR-OM1-150-USC-ULC MM OM1 62.5um OTDR Fiber Ring SC-LC, 150m

Overview

The AFL Fiber Ring is a compact, portable OTDR launch cable designed for precise optical fiber testing in premises networks. By providing a launch and receive test cable, it enables technicians to accurately measure the end-to-end insertion loss and reflectance of fiber optic links using an OTDR.

This unit features 150 meters (492 feet) of OM1 62.5µm multimode fiber, pre-terminated with high-quality SC and LC connectors. Housed in a rugged and lightweight case, the Fiber Ring is designed to fit conveniently into standard OTDR carry cases and field test kits, ensuring protection and ease of use in diverse operating environments.

Key Features

• 150m Fiber Length
  Provides sufficient length to overcome the OTDR dead zone and accurately characterize near-end and far-end connections.
• OM1 Multimode Fiber
  Standard 62.5µm fiber optimized for compatibility with legacy premises network infrastructures.
• SC to LC Connectors
  Versatile interface configuration allows for quick adaptation to common network hardware and patch panels.
• Rugged Case Design
  Lightweight yet durable housing ensures the delicate test fiber remains protected from damage during transit and field use.
• Compact Portability
  Engineered to fit seamlessly into existing OTDR carrying cases or test tool kits for maximum field efficiency.
• Dual-Function Capability
  Can be used as a launch cable for the near-end or a receive cable for the far-end of the link under test.

Applications

• OTDR testing of premises networks
• Measurement of fiber link insertion loss
• Reflectance testing of fiber connections
• Near-end and far-end connection diagnostics

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions
