Noyes Fiber Rings OTDR Launch Cables Noyes OTDR Launch Cables are designed to be used in conjunction with an OTDR to measure complete link loss of a fiber. They are also known as pulse suppressor cables, launch cords, launch leads, receive cables or fiber rings. An OTDR launch cable, which connects the OTDR to the link-under-test, discloses the insertion loss and reflectance of the near-end connection. A receive cable, which is connected to the far-end of the link, exposes the insertion loss and reflectance of the far-end connection. A Noyes fiber ring serves as both a launch cable and a receive cable. OTDR launch cables are conveniently packaged in rings for easy transport making them ideal for field use. Specialized Products Company stocks Noyes fiber rings in lengths of 150 meters, which are ideal for premises fiber network test applications. We also carry single mode OTDR launch cables of 500 meters and 1000 meters for broadband, long-haul fiber network test applications. AFL Noyes provides a variety of standard angled and non-angled connector styles including SC, ST, LC, FC and MTRJ. | | |
