Platinum Tools SLB-SA1SU1-SM3-500M fiber optic launch cables come in 3 different sizes and two different configurations to ensure you are covered when testing fiber optic cable. Each launch cable comes with a variety of adapters to ensure you can run a test on nearly any single-mode fiber optic cable. Designed with micro armored fiber and rugged exterior cases, these launch cables are fit for any job site.
An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) tests fiber-optic cables by sending laser pulses down the fiber and analyzing reflected light. It creates a distance-based trace showing signal loss along the link. OTDRs are used to locate faults, measure splice and connector loss, and perform Tier 2 fiber certification. Key factors include dynamic range, dead zone, and pulse width, which affect test distance and resolution
