By providing a necessary length of fiber between the OTDR and the link under test, it allows for the accurate measurement of insertion loss and reflectance at the near-end connection. When used as a receive cable at the far end, it enables comprehensive assessment of the entire link path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with 150 meters of laser-optimized OM3 50µm multimode fiber, this unit is housed in a rugged, lightweight case.
