It serves as a launch test cable, enabling accurate link characterization and loss measurement when used in conjunction with an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). By providing a lead-in fiber, it allows the OTDR to resolve the near-end connector, effectively overcoming the instrument's dead zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a durable, portable soft pouch, this unit is ideal for installation and troubleshooting environments.
