SC to LC OTDR Launch Cable in Fiber Launch Box

The SC to LC OTDR Launch Cable (also known as a fiber launch box or pulse suppressor) is a critical accessory for fiber optic testing with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR).

It serves as both a launch cable and a receive cable, ensuring highly accurate OTDR measurements by eliminating the “event dead zone” that normally occurs at the beginning and end of a fiber optic link.

Key Functions:

• Pulse Suppressor & Delay Line – Provides additional fiber length to minimize OTDR dead zones.

• Launch & Receive Testing – Enables testing of both near-end and far-end fiber connections.

• Improved Accuracy – Ensures that splices, connectors, and other events can be clearly identified.

Product Features:

• Ruggedized Fiber Ring – Durable and portable, built into a yellow fiber launch box for field use.

• Portable Design – Includes a repositionable carabiner clip for easy carrying and handling.

• High-Quality Fiber Options – Available with Single-mode 9/125µm fiber in lengths of 500m, 1000m, or 2000m.

• Industry-Standard Fiber Types – Supports G652.D, G655, or G657 standards, using top brands such as Corning or YOFC, based on customer request.

• Connector Types – Equipped with SC and LC UPC (Ultra-Polished) connectors for maximum compatibility.

• One-Fiber Configuration – Designed for single-fiber testing applications.

Applications:

• Fiber optic network installation and maintenance

• Field OTDR testing for telecom, data center, and enterprise networks

• Long-distance single-mode fiber link verification

• Troubleshooting and certification of fiber optic systems
