Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCSCAS2-1000M is a single-mode OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic network testing. By serving as both a launch and receive cable, it enables accurate characterization of both the near-end and far-end connectors of the fiber under test.
Constructed with 1000 meters (3281 feet) of high-quality Corning single-mode 9µm fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It features 1-meter pigtails and includes a repositionable carabiner for convenient field use. The entire assembly comes protected in a durable carrying pouch for reliable operation in diverse field environments.

Is this cable compatible with all OTDR brands?
Yes, this is a universal passive fiber optic cable that can be used with any OTDR that matches the connector and fiber type specifications.
Does this include a storage case?
Yes, it comes in a durable pouch for protection.
What fiber type is used in this ring?
It uses high-quality 9µm single-mode Corning fiber.
Can I use this to test both ends of a cable?
Yes, it serves as both a launch and a receive cable, facilitating the measurement of both the near-end and far-end connectors.
