Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCLCAS2-150M is a single-mode OTDR fiber ring designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic network testing. By serving as both a launch and receive cable, it enables technicians to accurately characterize the performance of the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link.
Constructed with 150 meters (492 feet) of high-quality Corning single-mode 9µm fiber, this unit features 1-meter pigtails for flexible connectivity. The rugged, portable ring housing includes a repositionable carabiner for ease of use in the field and comes protected in a durable storage pouch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR fiber ring?
It provides a sufficient length of fiber to allow the OTDR to settle after the initial laser pulse, which helps in identifying and testing the first connection (dead zone).
Is this cable compatible with all OTDRs?
Yes, it is compatible with any OTDR using single-mode fiber with the specified connector types (SC/UPC to LC/APC).
What kind of fiber is used in this ring?
This product uses genuine Corning 9µm single-mode fiber.
Does it come with a carrying case?
Yes, it includes a durable pouch for protection during transport and storage.
Can I use this for both launch and receive testing?
Yes, it is designed to function as either a launch or a receive cable for complete end-to-end link testing.
