Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an OTDR launch cable?
An OTDR launch cable, or fiber ring, provides a known length of fiber to help the OTDR overcome the dead zone and accurately measure the first connector in a link.
Is this cable compatible with single-mode fiber?
No, this is a 62.5/125µm multimode cable. Using it on single-mode fiber will cause significant signal loss and inaccurate test results.
What does the 62.5um specification refer to?
This refers to the diameter of the fiber core, which is standard for older high-speed multimode networks.
Are the connectors standard SC style?
Yes, this cable features standard SC connectors suitable for most fiber optic patch panels and equipment.
Does this unit come with a calibration certificate?
Please refer to the manufacturer documentation for specific information regarding calibration and certification services.
