The R240-SL-SCSC-A launch cable is a 150-meter single-mode fiber solution engineered to ensure precise OTDR testing, splice verification, and fiber certification. Built with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber, this cable is optimized to provide reliable and repeatable measurements while minimizing signal loss in tight bends and field conditions. With its 150 m buffer length, the cable effectively captures near-end dead zones, allowing technicians to obtain accurate readings for connector and splice loss without compromising test results.

Fitted with SC–SC APC connectors, the cable ensures low back reflection and maximum optical performance, especially important for high-precision single-mode testing in telecom, data center, and FTTx applications. The rugged outer jacket and reinforced strain-relief boots enhance durability in demanding environments, while its spool-friendly, lightweight design ensures convenient storage, transport, and deployment. This makes it an essential tool for installers, technicians, and engineers who require consistent performance in both laboratory and field testing scenarios.
