Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCALCUM2-1000M is a high-performance multimode OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the impact of the OTDR dead zone on fiber testing. By providing an initial launch and receive point, this device enables accurate measurement of both the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link.
Constructed with 1000 meters of genuine Corning 50µm multimode fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It is ideally suited for field testing environments, providing a stable, reliable reference for network technicians and installers. The device includes 1-meter pigtails for easy integration into existing test setups and comes in a durable pouch for protected storage and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR fiber ring?
An OTDR fiber ring acts as a launch cable, providing enough distance for the OTDR to stabilize, allowing the instrument to accurately measure the first connector in a link that would otherwise be obscured by the dead zone.
Is this cable compatible with single-mode fiber?
No, this model is specified for 50µm multimode (OM2) fiber and should not be used with single-mode fiber systems.
Are the connectors field-replaceable?
The connectors are permanently attached as part of the fiber ring assembly; they are not intended for field replacement.
Can I use this as a receive cable?
Yes, this unit functions effectively as both a launch cable and a receive cable for testing the far-end connector.
Does it include a storage case?
Yes, every purchase includes a durable pouch for the fiber ring.
