Product Description:

The OTDR Launch/Receive Cable G657A1 SM, 9/125µm, LC/APC – SC/APC, 2000m is a high-performance fiber optic testing accessory designed to eliminate dead zones in OTDR trace analysis. With 2000 meters of single-mode G.657.A1 fiber, this launch cable provides the buffer distance needed for accurate measurement of insertion loss and reflectance near the launch and receive ends of a fiber link.

Key Features:

  • Fiber Type: Single-mode G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive), 9/125µm
  • Length: 2000 meters (ideal for long-distance OTDR testing)
  • Connector Type: LC/APC (launch end) to SC/APC (receive end)
  • Low Insertion Loss & Back Reflection: Ensures high-accuracy OTDR readings
  • Compact & Durable Housing: Lightweight, rugged case for field use
  • Polishing Type: Angled physical contact (APC) for minimal signal reflection
  • Applications: OTDR testing, fiber network commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance

Use Case:

This cable is essential for testing both ends of a fiber link by acting as a launch and receive buffer. It allows technicians to fully characterize the fiber span, including the connectors and splices close to the OTDR ports.
