OTDR Launch Cable Box/OTDR Dead Zone Eliminator/Pulse Suppressor
The OTDR Launch Cable is designed to aid in the testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR
to help minimize the effects of the OTDR's launch pulse on measurement uncertainty. Using a DZE
launch cable at the beginning of the fiber under test and a DZE receive cable at the end of the
fiber under test allows the ability to perform loss measurments on entire length of the fiber.
The light weight unit measures only 6.25” in diameter and 1.25” high and includes a carabiner clip
allowing the unit to be easily attached to belts, equipment straps and rack mounts. Units are
available in any length up to 1000 meters with a choice of a variety of connectors in order to
connect to virtually all OTDR and patch panel ports.
