Description
* The Dead Zone Eliminator® (DZE) is designed to aid in the
testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR. The DZE is used with Optical
Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR's) to help minimize the effects of the OTDR's
launch pulse on measurement uncertainty.
Specifications
* Length: 100 Meters
* Type of Fiber: Singlemode
*
Loss @ 1310nm: < 0.5 dB
* Connector: SC / SC
Why do I Need a Launch Cable?
A launch cable (box) is designed to aid in
the testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR. The launch box is used with
Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR's) to help minimize the effects of the
OTDR's launch pulse on measurement uncertainty.
Without a Launch Cable...
Without the use of a Dead Zone Eliminator®
Launch Cable, the initial length of fiber is hidden within the launch pulse.
Loss measurements cannot be accomplished in the initial section of fiber. OTDRs
require a Dead Zone Eliminator® launch cable when measuring end-to-end loss,
fiber loss, connector loss and reflectance of optical fiber links.
With a Launch Cable...
With the use of a Dead Zone Eliminator® Launch
Cable, the initial section of fiber under test can be measured. The blind area
(dead zone event) is placed in the launch cable allowing you to measure through
the event and display the insertion loss and reflectance of the connection at
the beginning of the fiber under test. To test an entire section of fiber
(end-to-end), two Dead Zone Eliminator® launch cables are recommended. One cable
will serve as a launch cable testing the near-end connection, the other cable
will serve as a receive cable testing the far-end connection.
