4Fibers rozbiegówka OTDR Launch Cable 1000m, single mode G.652D

The 4Fibers OTDR Launch Cable is a professional test cable designed for use with OTDR reflectometers. It has been developed by specialists in fiber-optic measurements to meet the requirements of telecommunications network installers and service technicians. The product enables accurate testing of fiber-optic links and proper measurement of the first and last connectors in the measurement line.

Its robust, reinforced construction ensures high durability and reliability, even during intensive fieldwork. The housing is made of high-density foam, which effectively protects the fiber and provides flexibility for the entire assembly. Thanks to its compact dimensions and low weight, the launch cable is convenient to transport and use.

Connector parameters in test cables are crucial for the accuracy of OTDR measurements. 4Fibers launch cables provide very low insertion loss and high connector reflectance performance, resulting in reliable and repeatable measurement results.

The product is available in various lengths and connector configurations. The standard version features SC–SC connectors, with a choice of UPC or APC polishing. Custom cables of any length and with other connector types (SC, LC, FC, ST) can also be manufactured to order. Launch cables are manufactured entirely within the European Union, in Poland, in accordance with the highest quality standards.
