EXFO Launch Cable Fiber Optic Tester
Launch Cable Fiber Optic Tester
Installation/troubleshooting/OTDR testing essential: covers the OTDR’s dead zone, enabling loss measurement on the first and last connections of a fiber under test.
Typically, the length of an OTDR’s dead zone is equivalent to that of the optical pulse plus a few meters. The chosen launch test cable should therefore be longer than the pulse dead zone used for the tests.
