By providing a controlled length of fiber between the OTDR and the link under test, it allows for accurate measurement of the insertion loss and reflectance of the near-end connection. It also facilitates far-end testing when used as a receive cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit features 150 meters (492 feet) of G.652 standard single-mode fiber in a compact, ruggedized housing.
