Overview
The AFL Fiber Ring is a compact, portable OTDR launch cable designed to facilitate accurate fiber optic network testing. By serving as both a launch and receive test cable, this unit allows technicians to measure the insertion loss and reflectance of the near-end and far-end connections of a fiber link.
Engineered for use in broadband and long-haul fiber applications, this 1000-meter assembly utilizes standard G.652 single mode fiber. The cable is organized within a rugged, lightweight case that is optimized for field use and integrates easily into standard OTDR carrying cases or test kits.
