fiber ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is used as a launch cable for OTDR testing, which helps eliminate the dead zone caused by the initial connection, allowing you to view and measure the loss of the first connector on the cable under test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this for single-mode or multimode fiber?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a single-mode (SM) fiber optic cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the LC\/APC connector mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt indicates an LC connector with an Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish, which reduces back reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a carrying case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it includes a durable
