Fiber Launch Box: Accurate Testing for Your Fiber Optic Network

Introduction: The Fiber Launch Box is an essential tool for achieving accurate measurements during fiber optic testing with an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). Designed to eliminate the OTDR’s dead zone, our launch boxes ensure precise results for installation, calibration, and training.

What is an OTDR Launch Box?

An OTDR Launch Box helps to minimize the effects of the OTDR’s launch pulse on measurement uncertainty. It creates an extension of the fiber that allows the OTDR to stabilize before measuring the fiber under test, resulting in more accurate readings of splices, connectors, and breaks. This is especially important for:

      • Installation and Testing: Ensuring accurate results during fiber optic network installations.
      • Training and Calibration: Providing a clear view of the network’s performance for training or recalibration of testing equipment.
      • Minimizing Dead Zones: Reducing the impact of the OTDR’s initial pulse, known as the dead zone, which can obscure details in test results.
