Overview
The FiberXP FR-FCLCS2-150M is a single-mode OTDR fiber ring designed to minimize the dead zone effect during fiber optic network characterization. By serving as both a launch and receive cable, this device allows technicians to accurately measure insertion loss and reflectance for both the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link.
Engineered for field deployment, this unit features 150 meters (492 feet) of genuine Corning single-mode 9µm fiber in a compact, lightweight housing. The configuration includes 1-meter pigtails and a repositionable carabiner for easy attachment to test equipment or belts, all contained within a durable protective pouch.
Key Features
-
Corning Single Mode Fiber
Utilizes high-quality 9µm fiber to ensure consistent signal transmission and reliable testing results. -
Dead Zone Minimization
Acts as an essential buffer to allow the OTDR to overcome the initial pulse suppression and accurately characterize the first connector. -
Dual-Functionality
Can be utilized as both a launch cable to verify the near-end and a receive cable to verify the far-end of the link. -
Portable Ring Design
Compact 5-1/4" x 1" housing provides a space-saving footprint in a technician’s tool kit. -
Convenient Mounting
Integrated, repositionable carabiner allows for quick and secure attachment to equipment racks or tool bags. -
Pre-Terminated Pigtails
Includes 1-meter pigtail leads to provide immediate connectivity between the test unit and the cable under test.
Applications
- OTDR testing and certification
- Fiber optic installation and maintenance
- Network troubleshooting
- Near-end and far-end connection analysis
