1KM FC/UPC-FC/UPC Fiber Optic Extensi

1KM FC/UPC to FC/UPC Fiber Optic Extension Cable – OTDR Launch Cable Test Lead

The 1KM FC/UPC to FC/UPC Fiber Optic Extension Cable / OTDR Launch Cable Box is a professional fibre optic testing accessory designed to improve the accuracy of OTDR (Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer) measurements. The 1km fibre test lead helps overcome the OTDR`s initial dead zone, allowing technicians to obtain clearer and more accurate measurements of near-end and far-end connector loss, reflectance and fibre link performance.

Featuring FC/UPC to FC/UPC single-mode connectors, low optical attenuation and a rugged protective hard-shell enclosure, this OTDR launch cable is an ideal solution for telecommunications technicians, fibre installers, network engineers and professional field maintenance teams.

Key Features
1KM Fibre Test Lead: Provides a full 1000m of fibre for professional OTDR testing applications.
OTDR Launch Cable: Helps overcome the OTDR`s initial dead zone for improved near-end connector measurements.
Near-End & Far-End Testing: Can be used in launch and receive cable configurations for more comprehensive fibre link testing.
Low Optical Attenuation: Approximate attenuation of ≤0.5dB/km helps maintain test signal integrity.
Dual FC/UPC Connectors: Equipped with high-precision FC/UPC to FC/UPC single-mode fibre connectors.
Protective Dust Caps: Helps keep the FC/UPC connectors clean and protected when not connected.
Rugged Hard-Shell Enclosure: Durable yellow case provides protection for the internally stored fibre.
Water & Dust Resistant: Protective housing helps shield the fibre from environmental exposure during field use.
Pressure & Fall Resistant: Heavy-duty construction provides additional protection during transportation and onsite handling.
Organised Fibre Storage: Internal coiled spool with dual cable holders and binding buckles helps keep the fibre neatly stored.
Portable Field Design: Integrated metal carabiner clip allows the launch box to be easily attached to equipment or a technician`s tool bag.
Custom Configurations Available: Cable length, connector combinations, fibre cores and fibre modes can be customised according to requirements.

How an OTDR Launch Cable Works

The launch cable is connected between the OTDR and the fibre link under test. Its additional fibre length allows the OTDR to measure the first connector after the instrument`s initial dead zone, making it easier to assess near-end insertion loss and reflectance.

When used together with an appropriate receive cable, the setup can also assist with measuring the far-end connection and overall fibre link performance.

Heavy-Duty Protective Case

The 1KM fibre is neatly coiled inside a rugged yellow hard-shell enclosure, helping protect the delicate optical fibre from tangling, excessive bending and accidental damage.

The internal dual cable holders and binding buckles help keep the fibre organised, while the integrated metal carabiner clip makes the launch box convenient to carry or attach to field equipment.
