Overview
The FiberXP FR-FCSCS2-150M Single Mode FC to SC Fiber Ring is a specialized OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the impact of the dead zone during fiber optic testing. By providing an additional length of fiber at the beginning and end of a link, it allows for accurate characterization of near-end and far-end connectors that would otherwise be obscured by the instrument's initial dead zone.
Constructed with 150 meters of high-quality Corning single-mode 9µm fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design suitable for field use. It includes 1-meter pigtails for easy connection and a repositionable carabiner for convenient attachment to test gear or technician belts. The entire assembly comes protected in a durable pouch for transport and storage.
