Singlemode OTDR Fibre Rings
.jpg)
- During OTDR testing there is a large reflection from the first connector in the system under test (at the OTDR port). This reflection saturates the receiver in the OTDR, temporarily 'blinding' it and creating a deadzone in which valid measurements cannot be made
- A launch fibre is therefore used between the OTDR and the system under test to absorb this deadzone
- The fibre rings offer a compact launch fibre that can be stored in most OTDR equipment cases
- Fibre rings can also be used at the end of a fibre link to ensure that the loss and reflectance of the last connector of the system under test is measured
- Singlemode fibre rings are available in 150m, 500m and 1000m lengths. 1000m part numbers are shown below. For 150m and 500m rings please contact our sales team
- Also available with G657.A2 bend insensitive fibre. Please contact our sales team for details
- The fibre rings can be terminated with any combination of FC/PC, LC/PC, SC/PC, ST/PC, FC/APC and SC/APC connectors
