Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCASCAS2-1000 is a single-mode OTDR fiber ring designed to minimize the event dead zone during optical time-domain reflectometer testing. By providing a controlled length of fiber, it allows technicians to accurately measure both the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link under test.
This launch cable is constructed with 1000 meters of genuine Corning 9µm single-mode fiber, configured with 1-meter pigtails. The unit features a compact, lightweight ring design with a repositionable carabiner, making it highly portable for field environments. It is protected within a durable, included pouch for safe storage and transport.
