Overview
The FiberXP® FR-STSTM2-150M is a professional-grade multimode OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic testing. By providing a controlled launch point, it enables technicians to accurately measure both the initial near-end connector and the far-end connector of the fiber link under test.
This unit features 150 meters of high-quality 50µm multimode fiber, ensuring compatibility with standard network testing requirements. The compact, lightweight ring housing includes a repositionable carabiner for convenient attachment to test equipment or technician gear, making it ideal for field operations where portability and durability are required.
