Overview
The FiberXP® FR-SCALCAS21000M is a professional-grade single mode OTDR fiber ring designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic testing. By acting as a launch and receive cable, it enables accurate measurement of both the initial near-end and far-end connectors of the fiber under test.
Constructed with 1000 meters (3281 feet) of genuine Corning 9µm single mode fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It features 1-meter pigtails and includes a repositionable carabiner for easy attachment to test equipment or technician belts, ensuring utility in field environments.
