Overview
The FiberXP FR-LCSCAS2-500M Single Mode Fiber Ring is a specialized OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic testing. By providing a controlled launch point, it enables accurate measurement of both the initial near-end connector and the far-end connector of the fiber link under test.
This unit features 500 meters of high-quality Corning single-mode 9µm fiber housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It includes 1-meter pigtails for easy connectivity and a repositionable carabiner for convenient attachment to test equipment or utility belts during field operations.
