Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR launch box?
An OTDR launch box is used to create an initial fiber length that allows the OTDR to overcome its initial dead zone, enabling the characterization of the first connector on a link under test.
Is this unit suitable for multimode testing?
No, this unit is specifically configured with Corning single mode fiber.
What connectors are included on this box?
This model features SC to SC connectors.
Is the length adjustable?
The fiber is permanently housed within the launch box to ensure protection and calibration integrity; it is not meant to be adjusted or removed.
Does this include a shoulder strap or carabiner?
It features a repositionable carabiner for convenient portability during field use.
