launch cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA launch cable acts as a buffer between the OTDR and the fiber under test, allowing the OTDR's pulse to stabilize so that the near-end connector can be measured without being obscured by the instrument's dead zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this for single-mode fiber testing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this cable is designed specifically for 62.5µm multimode fiber applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the connectors field-cleanable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the connectors should be cleaned using standard fiber optic cleaning methods before each use to ensure accurate test results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the cable come with a case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it is supplied in a durable pouch for protection when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I need a different connector combination?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContact our sales department for information on other available launch cable configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FiberXP","offers":[{"title":"Default
