Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCLCM1-150M is a professional-grade multimode OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the dead zone of OTDR measurements. By serving as a launch and receive cable, it enables technicians to accurately characterize both the near-end and far-end connectors of a fiber link under test.
Engineered for field deployment, this unit features a compact, durable, and lightweight ring housing. It includes 1-meter pigtails for easy connectivity and a repositionable carabiner for convenient attachment to test equipment or technician gear. Each cable is constructed with high-quality 62.5µm multimode fiber to ensure reliable transmission during certification and troubleshooting tasks.
Key Features
-
Dead Zone Mitigation
Allows the OTDR to overcome the initial dead zone, enabling measurement of the first connector in the fiber link. -
Launch and Receive Capability
Can be used as both a launch cable and a receive cable to perform end-to-end characterization of a fiber segment. -
Durable Ring Housing
Protects the fiber optic coil in a compact 5-1/4" x 1" enclosure, suitable for harsh field environments. -
Portable Design
Equipped with an integrated, repositionable carabiner for easy carrying and attachment to tools. -
High-Quality Fiber
Utilizes genuine high-performance fiber to ensure measurement accuracy and consistency. -
Ready-to-Use Configuration
Includes 1-meter pigtails and a protective pouch, minimizing setup time in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR launch cable?
An OTDR launch cable is used to bridge the "dead zone" caused by the high-power pulse of an OTDR at the start of a fiber, allowing the device to accurately measure the connection loss of the first connector.
Can this be used for both multimode and single-mode fibers?
No, this specific model is designed for 62.5µm multimode fiber and should not be used with single-mode systems.
What connectors are included on this launch ring?
This model features an SC connector on one side and an LC connector on the other.
How long are the pigtails on this unit?
This unit comes with 1-meter pigtails on each side.
Is this ring portable?
Yes, it features a lightweight, compact design with a repositionable carabiner for easy attachment to technician bags or work sites.
