Description
Overview
GAOTek’s OTDR Launch Cable is used with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). This launch cable helps in minimizing the effects of the OTDR’s launch pulse on measurement uncertainty. This product is available in various configurations and fiber lengths and is useful for testing fiber optic cable when using an OTDR and also for measuring the insertion loss and reflectance of near- and far-end connections of a fiber optic link using an OTDR.
Key Features
- Pulse Suppressor, Launch Box, Delay Line
- Compound Latch for positive seal and easy opening with locking feature
- Auto Purge Valve for changes in altitude and temperature
- Case can house up to 5468 yd (5,000 m) of fiber
- Non-metal construction will not dent, corrode, or conduce electricity
- Water and dust-proof allowing the unit to be taken into almost any environment
