Overview
The FiberXP FR-LCULCAS2-150M is a single-mode OTDR fiber ring designed to minimize the dead zone in fiber optic testing. By acting as a launch and receive cable, this unit allows technicians to accurately measure both the initial near-end connector and the far-end connector of a fiber link under test.
Constructed with 150 meters (492 feet) of high-quality Corning 9µm single-mode fiber, the device features a compact, lightweight ring design with 1-meter pigtails. It is housed in a durable pouch and includes a repositionable carabiner for convenient transport and setup in field environments.
