Overview
The FiberXP FR-SCSCS2-1000M Single Mode OTDR Fiber Ring is a professional-grade launch cable designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic characterization. By providing a controlled length of fiber between the OTDR and the link under test, it enables technicians to accurately measure the insertion loss and reflectance of the near-end connection.
Constructed with 1000 meters of high-quality Corning 9µm single-mode fiber, this ring is housed in a portable, lightweight enclosure for easy deployment in field environments. It features 1-meter pigtails for convenient connection and includes a durable pouch for storage and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTDR fiber ring used for?
It is used to provide a lead-in fiber that allows the OTDR to settle after the initial launch pulse, enabling the measurement of the very first connector in a link.
Can I use this for multi-mode fiber?
No, this model is specified for single-mode fiber (9µm) only.
Are the connectors SC/UPC or SC/APC?
The manufacturer description specifies SC connectors; please consult your OTDR port type to ensure compatibility.
What is the length of the pigtails?
The fiber ring features 1-meter pigtails.
Is the storage pouch included?
Yes, every unit comes with a durable storage pouch.
