Overview
The Fluke Networks MMC-50-SCSC is a precision-engineered multimode fiber optic launch cable designed to facilitate accurate OTDR measurements. By providing a controlled launch condition, this cable enables technicians to effectively measure the end-to-end insertion loss and reflectance of fiber optic links, ensuring network integrity and performance in high-speed installations.
Constructed with high-quality 50/125µm multimode fiber, this launch cable is optimized for demanding field environments. With a total length of 105 meters, it provides the necessary distance for the OTDR to overcome the initial dead zone, allowing for precise characterization of near-end connections and connectors.
