Overview
The FiberXP FR-FCFCS2-150M is a professional-grade single mode OTDR launch cable designed to eliminate the OTDR dead zone during fiber optic network testing. By providing an extended fiber length between the OTDR and the link under test, it allows for accurate characterization of near-end and far-end connectors.
Constructed with 150 meters of high-quality Corning single mode 9µm fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It is ideally suited for field technicians and network engineers operating in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise fiber optic environments.
