Overview

Measuring an insertion loss of the near-end and / or far-end connection of a fiber optic link with an OTDR requires a launch and / or receive test cable. A launch cable, which connects the OTDR to the link under test, reveals the insertion loss and reflectance of the near-end connection. A receive cable, which connects to the far-end of the link, reveals the insertion loss and reflectance of the far-end connection. Launch and receive test cables can range from 150 m to 1 km (or longer) in length. Because very long test cables are impractical to transport and use, Noyes offers coiled lengths of 50 mm multi-mode, 62.5 mm multi-mode, or single-mode fibre packaged in compact rings.
