Key Features

  • Single-mode G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber

  • 150 m length ideal for OTDR launch/receive testing

  • Factory-terminated SC–SC connectors for plug-and-play use

  • Low insertion loss and consistent attenuation performance

  • Rugged outer jacket with molded strain relief for durability

  • Dust caps included to protect connectors

  • Compact, spool-friendly design for storage and transport

  • Suitable for lab, field, and certification applications

 

This 150-meter single-mode launch cable is manufactured with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber, making it the ideal companion for OTDR testing, fiber characterization, and link certification. Its low bend-loss characteristics ensure accuracy and reliability even in tight routing scenarios, while the 150-meter length provides sufficient buffer distance to capture near-end events clearly during OTDR traces. Pre-terminated with SC–SC connectors, this cable offers immediate compatibility with common OTDR test equipment and network systems, eliminating the need for extra adapters.

Engineered for robust field use, the cable is protected with a durable jacket and reinforced terminations to withstand repeated handling and transport. The spool-friendly design makes it easy to deploy and store, while dust caps protect connectors when not in use. With low attenuation values and consistent launch performance, this cable delivers repeatable, high-quality results for technicians conducting splicing verification, connector loss measurement, or fault isolation in both lab and field environments.
