❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I use a 1000m launch cable instead of a 500m?
A: Use the 1000m launch cable when your OTDR has a longer attenuation dead zone (typically >50m), or when testing high-power OTDRs with larger dead zones. For most standard OTDRs used in FTTH testing, 500m is sufficient. For long-haul telecom OTDRs with higher pulse widths, 1000m provides a safer margin.
Q: Is this launch cable compatible with my OTDR?
A: Yes. The SC/UPC to SC/UPC connector is the most common OTDR port type and is compatible with virtually all professional OTDR brands including TEKCN, HSV, EXFO, JDSU, Anritsu, and others.
Q: Can I use this launch cable with APC connectors?
A: This model uses SC/UPC connectors. For APC connector compatibility, please see our SC/APC to SC/APC launch cable box (sold separately).
