Selection Notes
- Typically selected when OTDR testing needs a portable launch/delay section to reduce dead-zone effects for connector evaluation, and field work benefits from a sealed, rugged housing that tolerates repeated outdoor handling.
- May not be appropriate for test programs that require longer delay lengths than the box can accommodate or where connector configurations vary by crew/site, since inconsistent length/interface setups commonly reduce repeatability in acceptance measurements.
Application Details
- Designed for use with OTDR equipment for accurate optical fiber line measurement.
- Eliminates proximal and remote non-corrupt insertions.
- Reduces testing errors in various fiber optic network applications.
FAQ
