Launch fiber
Product description
Single-mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) fibers have unique optical properties, and using dedicated launch fibers ensures signal integrity and accurate OTDR testing. Our launch fiber covers are designed to fit easily into the reflectometer’s case.
- Customizable length, connector style and fiber type
- High quality protection box
- Low insertion loss
- High reliability and stability
- Compact and rugged
- User friendly packaging solutions
- OEM capabilities

- Insertion loss, reflectance of the near-end connection measurements
- Telecom simulation
- Time delay
HOW IT WORKS?
Also named OTDR fiber, launch cable, receive cable or fiber ring, a launch fiber is used to identify faults in the total fiber length. How to use?
- Connect the fiber between an OTDR and the fiber link under test. In this configuration, the loss of the near-end connection can be measured.
- Connect the fiber to the far-end connector of your fiber link under test. In this configuration, the loss of the far-end connection can be measured.
