Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCSCM2-150M Multimode SC-SC Fiber Ring is a specialized OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the impact of the OTDR dead zone. By providing a controlled test lead, it allows technicians to accurately characterize both the near-end and far-end connectors of the fiber under test, ensuring comprehensive network certification and troubleshooting.
This unit is constructed with 150 meters (492 feet) of high-quality 50µm multimode fiber, featuring 1-meter pigtails for easy connectivity. The cable is housed in a compact, portable, and lightweight ring enclosure equipped with a repositionable carabiner for convenient field use. It includes a durable protective pouch to maintain cable integrity during transport in various industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR fiber ring?
An OTDR fiber ring acts as a launch cable that allows the OTDR to overcome its initial dead zone, enabling the measurement of the very first connector in a link.
Can I use this for single-mode fiber testing?
No, this model is specifically configured with 50µm multimode fiber and is not suitable for single-mode applications.
Are the connectors field-replaceable?
The connectors are factory-terminated for optimal performance and should not be replaced in the field.
Does this include a case?
Yes, each fiber ring includes a durable pouch for protection during storage and transport.
What length pigtails are provided?
The unit features 1-meter pigtails at both the launch and receive ends.
