Overview
The FiberXP FRLCLCS2-1000M Single Mode OTDR Fiber Ring is a specialized launch cable designed to minimize the event dead zone during optical time-domain reflectometer testing. By acting as a bridge between the OTDR and the fiber under test, it allows for accurate measurement of both the initial near-end connector and the far-end connector, ensuring comprehensive network certification.
Constructed with 1000 meters of premium Corning 9µm single mode fiber, this ring configuration includes 1-meter pigtails and a compact, lightweight housing. The unit is optimized for field use, featuring a repositionable carabiner for easy attachment to testing equipment and a durable pouch for transport and protection.
Key Features
-
Corning Fiber Construction
Utilizes genuine 9µm single mode fiber for consistent optical performance and compatibility with standard testing protocols. -
Dead Zone Mitigation
Allows the OTDR pulse to stabilize, enabling accurate characterization of near-end connections that would otherwise be obscured. -
Dual Connector Support
Includes LC to LC connectivity, facilitating direct integration into existing LC-based network environments. -
Compact Ring Design
The 5-1/4" x 1" housing minimizes physical footprint while keeping 1000 meters of fiber organized and tangle-free. -
Portable Field Utility
Equipped with a repositionable carabiner for secure attachment to belts or equipment cases during site work. -
Protective Pouch
Supplied with a durable protective pouch to prevent damage to the housing and connectors during transport.
