The AFL FR-SMF-500-ULC-USC Fiber Ring OTDR Launch Cable features 500 meters of standard SMF (G.652) single mode fiber optic cable with LC and SC connectors in a compact ring. It is designed for broadband, long haul fiber network test applications. This launch cable connects OTDR to FTTH or any network using UPC connections. OTDR testing requires launch and receive test cables to measure the end-to-end loss of fiber optic links.
The coiled OTDR launch cable comes conveniently organized in a new rugged and lightweight case with improved functionality. It fits easily in any OTDR carry case or test kit.
The FR-SMF-500-ULC-USC Single Mode OTDR Fiber Ring contains launch and receive test cables. It has a standard, one-fiber configuration with 500 m (1640 feet) of LC to SC single mode fiber. The launch cable connects the OTDR to the link under test and reveals the insertion loss plus reflectance of the near-end connection. The receive cable, which is connected to the far-end of the link, reveals the insertion loss and reflectance of the far-end connection.
