Overview
The FiberXP® FR-FCLCM1-150M Multimode FC to LC Fiber Ring is a specialized OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the effect of the OTDR's dead zone. By providing a necessary length of lead-in fiber, it allows for accurate characterization of both the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber optic link under test.
This unit is constructed with 150 meters of high-quality, 62.5µm multimode fiber, integrated into a portable and lightweight ring housing. The design includes 1-meter pigtails for easy connection and a repositionable carabiner for convenient attachment during field operations. The assembly is supplied in a durable, protective pouch, making it suitable for demanding field environments.
