Overview
The FiberXP FR-FCSCAS2-150M is a single-mode OTDR fiber ring designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic network testing. By serving as both a launch and receive cable, it enables accurate measurement of both the initial near-end and final far-end connectors of the fiber under test.
Constructed with 150 meters (492 feet) of genuine Corning 9µm single-mode fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It features 1-meter pigtails and a repositionable carabiner for field utility, and arrives in a durable pouch for protected storage and transport in industrial environments.
