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

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

The 1KM FC/UPC to LC/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. It provides an extended fibre length between the OTDR and the fibre link under test, helping overcome the instrument`s initial dead zone and enabling more accurate evaluation of the near-end and far-end connections.

Featuring FC/UPC to LC/UPC hybrid connectors and a rugged protective hard-shell enclosure, this 1KM OTDR launch cable is ideal for telecommunications technicians, fibre installers, network engineers and professional field maintenance teams.

Key Features
1KM Fibre Length: Provides 1000 metres of fibre for professional OTDR testing applications.
OTDR Launch Cable: Helps overcome the OTDR`s initial dead zone, allowing improved visibility of the near-end connection.
Near-End & Far-End Testing: Can be used as part of a launch/receive cable setup to evaluate connector loss and reflectance.
FC/UPC to LC/UPC Connectors: Hybrid termination provides convenient connection between equipment using FC and LC interfaces.
Protective Dust Caps: Helps protect the optical connectors from dust and contamination when not in use.
Rugged Hard-Shell Case: Durable yellow enclosure protects the internally stored fibre during transportation and field work.
Water & Dust Resistant: Protective housing helps safeguard the internal fibre from environmental exposure.
Pressure & Fall Resistant: Heavy-duty case provides additional protection against impacts and handling.
Organised Fibre Storage: Internal coiled spool with dual cable holders and binding buckles helps keep the fibre neatly stored.
Portable Design: Integrated metal carabiner clip allows convenient attachment to a tool bag or equipment.
Field Ready: Compact protective enclosure makes the launch cable suitable for onsite testing and maintenance.
Custom Configurations: Cable length, connector combinations, fibre cores and fibre modes can be customised according to project requirements.

How the OTDR Launch Cable Works

During OTDR testing, the launch cable is connected between the OTDR and the fibre link under test. The additional fibre length helps move the first connection outside the OTDR`s initial measurement dead zone, making it easier to assess the performance of the near-end connector.

When combined with an appropriate receive cable, the setup can also help technicians evaluate the far-end connector and overall fibre link performance.

Heavy-Duty Protective Design

The 1KM fibre is neatly stored inside a rugged yellow hard-shell enclosure, helping protect the cable from damage during transportation and onsite use.

The internal spool, dual cable holders and binding buckles help prevent the fibre from becoming tangled or loosely stored. The integrated metal carabiner clip provides a convenient way to carry or secure the launch cable during field work.
