Overview
The FiberXP FR-LCALCAS2-1000M is a single-mode OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the OTDR event dead zone, allowing for precise measurements of the initial near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link. This unit is essential for technicians performing accurate optical network characterization.
Constructed with 1000 meters (3281 feet) of high-quality Corning 9µm single-mode fiber, the system includes 1-meter pigtails for flexible integration into existing test setups. The compact, lightweight ring housing features a repositionable carabiner for ease of use in the field and is housed in a durable pouch for transport and protection.
