Overview
The AFL FR-SMF-150-ULC-ULC is a professional-grade OTDR fiber ring designed to provide precise measurement of optical fiber links. By serving as both a launch and receive test cable, this unit allows technicians to accurately characterize the insertion loss and reflectance of both the near-end and far-end connections during OTDR certification.
Engineered for use in premises networks, the fiber ring contains 150 meters of high-quality G.652 single mode fiber. The assembly is housed within a rugged, lightweight, and compact case, making it an ideal field tool that integrates seamlessly into standard OTDR carry cases and testing kits.
