AFL FR-OM1-150-USC-UST Multimode OM1 62.5µm OTDR Fiber Ring SC-ST, 150m

Overview

The AFL Fiber Ring OTDR launch cable is designed for precise testing of optical fiber links in premises networks. By providing a launch and receive test cable, it enables the accurate measurement of end-to-end insertion loss and reflectance for both near-end and far-end fiber connections.

This unit features 150 meters of high-quality OM1 62.5µm multimode fiber, pre-terminated with SC and ST connectors. The fiber is housed in a rugged, lightweight, and compact case, ensuring it is portable and easily integrated into standard OTDR carrying cases or technician field kits.

Key Features

• 150m Length
  Provides sufficient length to overcome the OTDR dead zone for accurate characterization of the near-end connector.
• OM1 Multimode Fiber
  Utilizes 62.5µm fiber optimized for legacy premises network testing.
• Rugged Case
  Protects the fiber from damage in harsh field environments while remaining lightweight.
• Compact Design
  Fits easily into standard OTDR carry bags and maintenance kits.
• SC and ST Connectors
  Ensures compatibility with common legacy fiber optic interface standards.
• Integrated Launch/Receive Function
  Supports complete link loss and reflectance testing from both ends of the fiber plant.

Applications

• Premises network certification
• OTDR testing
• Insertion loss verification
• Reflectance measurement

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OTDR fiber ring used for?
An OTDR fiber ring serves as a launch or receive cable, allowing the OTDR to measure the insertion loss and reflectance of the first and last connections in a link by moving the connection point outside the OTDR's dead zone.

Is this fiber ring suitable for singlemode testing?
No, this model specifically utilizes OM1 62.5µm multimode fiber and is intended for multimode network applications.

Does this product include both ends of the test?
The fiber ring can be used as either a launch cable (near-end) or a receive cable (far-end) for complete link characterization.

How should the connectors be maintained?
Connectors should be inspected and cleaned with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before each use to ensure measurement accuracy.

Is the case water-resistant?
The rugged case is designed for field use to protect the fiber from physical damage in typical network installation environments.
