Its primary function is to serve as a launch and receive cable, allowing technicians to accurately measure the initial near-end connection and the final far-end connection of a fiber under test. By introducing this length of fiber, the unit effectively minimizes the OTDR's inherent event dead zone, ensuring precise link characterization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is constructed with 500 meters (1,640 feet) of high-quality Corning single-mode 9µm fiber. It features a portable, compact, and lightweight ring design, making it highly suitable for field operations in data center and telecommunications environments. The system includes 1-meter pigtails for easy integration and a repositionable carabiner for convenient attachment to test equipment or work belts, all housed in a durable protective pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDead Zone Minimization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eActs as a pulse suppressor to allow characterization of near-end and far-end connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Quality Corning Fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUtilizes industry-standard 9µm single-mode fiber to ensure consistent optical transmission.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLC-LC\/APC Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProvides specific connector compatibility for precision testing requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500-Meter Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffers sufficient distance for standard OTDR testing applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated 1-Meter Pigtails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllows for flexible connection and movement during the testing process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight Ring Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnables easy handling and portability for technicians performing field audits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Carabiner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFacilitates secure attachment to test gear, preventing loss during transit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable Protective Pouch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSafeguards the fiber and connectors against dust and environmental damage when not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTDR testing and certification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiber link characterization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimizing dead zones in fiber networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelecom and data center field maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFR-LCALCUS2-500M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiber Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCorning Single Mode 9µm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 meters (1640 feet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLC\/UPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLC\/APC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-1\/4\" x 1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is an OTDR launch cable used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is used to minimize the dead zone of an OTDR, allowing it to measure the loss and reflectance of the first and last connectors in a fiber link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this unit come with a carrying case?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it includes a durable pouch for protection and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of fiber is inside the ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ring contains 500 meters of Corning single-mode 9µm fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this for APC testing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unit features an LC\/APC connector on one side, specifically for APC compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the length of the pigtails?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unit features 1-meter pigtails on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fosco Connect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50809260179554,"sku":"FR-LCALCUS2-500M","price":361.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/4509\/files\/682x619_pli.jpg?v=1793478105","url":"https:\/\/www.fiberoptics4sale.com\/products\/fiberxp-fr-lcalcus2-500m-sm-otdr-fiber-ring-lc-lc-apc-500m","provider":"Fosco Connect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
