Overview
The FiberXP® FRLCLCS2-500M Single Mode LC to LC Fiber Ring is a professional-grade OTDR launch cable designed to minimize the event dead zone during fiber optic testing. By providing a controlled launch point, this device allows technicians to accurately measure the initial near-end connector and the far-end connector of a fiber link under test.
Constructed with 500 meters (1640 feet) of genuine Corning single-mode 9µm fiber, this unit is housed in a portable, lightweight ring design. It includes 1-meter pigtails for easy connectivity and comes with a durable storage pouch and a repositionable carabiner for convenient field use.
