Why do I need OTDR Launch Fiber?

Picture
Picture
  • OTDR Launch Fiber is also known as " OTDR Dead Zone Eliminator" or "Dummy Spool Fiber"
  • It is designed to assist in testing of fiber optics cable in using an OTDR.
  • The OTDR Launch Fiber is  to help minimize the effect of the  OTDR Launch pulse on measurement uncertainty or called dead zone area.
Picture
  • All OTDRs have a “dead zone”  that may extend a hundred meters from the OTDR in which accurate readings are unavailable.
  • OTDR simply could not detect or locate faults or analyzed fiber optic under test within the dead zone region.
  • To overcome this problem, a launch fiber is used to eliminate the dead zone thus giving the accurate measurement and readings of fiber optics link test.

  • The preferable length of launch fiber optic is in the range between 500 meter - 2000 meters.
  • As seen in the above diagram,  the launch fiber optics eliminates the dead zone region thus giving the OTDR true graphical presentation and measurement of fiber optic cable under test

    I have been in the field of fiber optics since early 1990s.  I gained fiber optics skills and knowledge via my working experience as end-user, main contractor and sub-contractor and finally as an optical fiber enterpreneur.
