OTDR Launch Cable
The OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) Launch Cable is a length of fiber optic cable used in conjunction with an OTDR instrument during testing and troubleshooting of fiber optic networks. The launch cable serves as a known length of fiber that is attached to the beginning of the fiber under test. Its purpose is to allow the OTDR to accurately measure characteristics such as attenuation, reflection, and distance by providing a consistent signal launch into the fiber being tested. The launch cable helps to eliminate issues such as “dead zones” near the beginning of the fiber and ensures more accurate and reliable measurements during OTDR testing. According to the different needs of customers for fiber length, the following five styles are currently commonly used on the market.
