Overview
The FiberXP FR-STSTS2-150M is a professional-grade 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 technicians to accurately characterize the performance of the near-end and far-end connectors in a fiber link.
Constructed with 150 meters of high-quality Corning 9µm single mode fiber, this ring unit is housed in a portable, lightweight design that includes 1-meter pigtails and a repositionable carabiner for easy attachment during field work. The product is supplied in a durable pouch to ensure protection and longevity in harsh operating environments.

Is the fiber cable inside the ring authentic?
Yes, this product utilizes genuine Corning single mode fiber.
Does it come with a case?
Yes, every purchase includes a durable protective pouch.
Can I use this as a receive cable?
Yes, this unit can be used as both a launch and a receive cable to measure both ends of a fiber optic span.
How long are the pigtails on this unit?
