OTDR Launch Cable OTDR Launch Test Cable Box
OTDR Launch cable is designed to aid in the testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR. The OTDR Launch Fiber box is
used withOptical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR's) to help minimize the effects of the OTDR's launch pulse onmeasurement
uncertainty.Available in different configurations and fiber lengthsComplied with or exceeds Standard
ITU-T G652.D, G656.AITU-T G651.1 OM1 OM2 OM3 OM4IEC60793-2-10 type A1a.1/A1b OM1/OM2, type A1a.2 OM3, type A1a.3 OM4
Telcordia (formerly Bellcore) GR-326-CORERoHS Compliant Directive 2011/65/EU
Applications
Use as OTDR launch/receive cable.Test link loss with an OTDR.Measure insertion loss and reflectance of near/far
end connector. Pulse suppressor for the first reflection at the beginning of a fiber.
Features
Standard boxes along with custom configurations for OTDR applications.Compact and rugged packaging.Portable for
field use.Prevents fiber damage and ensures accurate results.Pulse suppressor, Launch Box, Delay Line, Installation/
Testing, Training, Calibration.Compound latch for positive seal and easy opening with locking feature.Water and dust
prove allowing the unit to be taken into almost any environment.Case can house up to 2,000 meters of fiber.Auto
Purge Valve for changes in altitude and temperature.
