PROFESSIONAL OTDR TESTING TOOL


A launch cord places a known length of fiber between an OTDR and the fiber link being tested.


The 160 m / 525 ft launch fiber allows the technician to separate the OTDR from the first connection and evaluate near-end connector events that could otherwise be affected by the OTDR dead zone.


It may also be used as a receive / tail cord at the far end of a fiber link to help evaluate the final connector and end-of-link events.


IDEAL FOR:


• OTDR fiber testing

• Fiber link certification and troubleshooting

• Connector and splice event analysis

• Loss and reflectance evaluation

• Singlemode fiber characterization

• Data center fiber infrastructure

• Telecom and enterprise networks

• Campus fiber networks

• Outside Plant / OSP fiber

• Fiber installation and maintenance


RUGGED FIELD ENCLOSURE:


The launch fiber is stored inside the integrated Fluke Networks protective enclosure, helping protect the long fiber coil during transportation, storage and field testing.


CONDITION:


Pre-owned professional fiber optic test equipment from telecommunications inventory.


The unit has not recently been optically certified or tested for insertion loss, attenuation, reflectance or other optical performance specifications.


Fiber connector cleanliness is critical for accurate measurements. Both connectors should be inspected and properly cleaned before precision OTDR or certification testing.
