Overview
The AFL FR-OM1-150-USC-USC Fiber Ring is a professional-grade OTDR launch cable designed to facilitate accurate optical fiber testing. This unit serves as both a launch and receive test cable, allowing technicians to measure the total end-to-end insertion loss and reflectance of fiber optic links in premises networks.
Constructed with 150 meters of standard OM1 62.5µm multimode fiber, this solution features SC-SC connectivity. The fiber is housed in a rugged, lightweight, and compact ring, designed for portability and easy storage within standard OTDR carry cases or field technician test kits.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR launch cable?
A launch cable allows the OTDR to overcome the initial dead zone, enabling the instrument to measure the insertion loss and reflectance of the first connector in a link.
Can this be used as a receive cable?
Yes, this Fiber Ring can be connected to the far end of the fiber link to characterize the final connection.
What fiber type is used in this ring?
This model uses standard OM1 62.5µm multimode fiber.
Is the case durable for outdoor use?
The fiber ring is housed in a rugged, lightweight case designed to protect the fiber in various field environments.
What connectors are installed on this cable?
This specific unit is equipped with SC connectors on both ends.
