Overview
The FiberXP® FR-SCSCM1-150M Multimode SC to SC Fiber Ring is a specialized OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the OTDR dead zone during fiber optic testing. By providing a controlled length of fiber between the OTDR and the fiber under test, it allows for accurate characterization and measurement of both the near-end and far-end connectors.
Constructed with high-quality Corning multimode 62.5µm fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It features 1-meter pigtails and is supplied with a repositionable carabiner for easy attachment to test equipment or racks. It is intended for field use and comes protected in a durable carrying pouch, ensuring longevity in diverse network installation and maintenance environments.
