Overview
The FiberXP FR-LCLCS2-150M is a single-mode OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the dead zone in fiber optic testing. By providing a controlled launch and receive point, this cable enables accurate measurements of both the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link.
Constructed with 150 meters (492 feet) of genuine Corning 9µm single-mode fiber, the unit features a portable, lightweight ring design for easy handling in field environments. It is equipped with 1-meter pigtails and a repositionable carabiner for secure attachment to equipment racks or technicians' gear, and it arrives in a durable pouch for protection during transport.

An OTDR launch cable provides a sufficient length of fiber to allow the OTDR to overcome its initial dead zone, enabling the measurement of the very first connector on the cable being tested.
Can this be used for both ends of the fiber?
Yes, it can function as both a launch cable at the near end and a receive cable at the far end of the fiber link.
What type of fiber is inside this unit?
This unit uses 9µm Corning single-mode fiber.
Are the connectors protected?
The unit includes a durable pouch to keep the fiber and connectors protected during transport and storage.
Does it come with any mounting hardware?
Yes, it features an integrated, repositionable carabiner for easy carrying.
