Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR launch cable?
An OTDR launch cable is used to bridge the gap between the OTDR and the fiber under test, allowing the OTDR to overcome its initial dead zone so the first connector can be properly measured.
Is this compatible with all OTDRs?
Yes, this launch cable uses standard fiber types and connectors compatible with virtually all industry-standard OTDR platforms.
Does this cable include a protective case?
Yes, it comes with a durable pouch to protect the fiber ring when not in use.
Can I use this for multi-mode fiber testing?
No, this model uses single mode Corning fiber and is designed exclusively for single mode testing.
How long are the connector leads?
The unit features 1-meter long pigtails at the connection points.
