1000m OTDR Launch Cable Box – Single-Mode Fiber OTDR Dead Zone Eliminator
This 1000m OTDR launch cable box is an essential fiber optic testing accessory that eliminates the OTDR's near-end dead zone, enabling accurate measurement of the first connector, splice, and fiber section from the very start of the fiber link. With 1000 meters of high-quality single-mode fiber and a wide range of connector options (SC, FC, LC, ST × UPC and APC), it is ideal for use with high-power OTDRs and long-haul fiber testing scenarios.
🔧 Key Features
- 1000m Fiber Length – Sufficient to overcome dead zones of most professional OTDRs
- Multiple Connector Options – SC, FC, LC, ST with UPC or APC polish
- Single-Mode Fiber (G.652D) – Compatible with all SM OTDRs and fiber networks
- Low Insertion Loss – High-quality connectors for accurate OTDR measurements

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I use a 1000m launch cable instead of 500m?
A: Use the 1000m when your OTDR has a longer attenuation dead zone, or when testing with high pulse widths for long-haul fiber. For standard FTTH OTDRs, 500m is usually sufficient.
Q: What is the difference between UPC and APC?
A: UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) has a flat end-face and return loss >50dB. APC (Angled Physical Contact) has an 8° angled end-face and return loss >60dB. APC is required in GPON/PON networks. They are NOT interchangeable — always match your network connector type.
