Fluke Networks Singlemode Launch Cable for Optifiber Pro OTDR, SMC-9-SCSC

Fluke Fibre Optic Test Equipment Patch Cord, Singlemode Launch Cable, For Use With Optifiber Pro OTDR - SMC-9-SCSC

This fibre optic test equipment patch cord is a single‑mode launch cable designed for use with the OptiFibre Pro OTDR. It provides a stable reference connection for optical time‑domain reflectometry in professional fibre testing environments and conforms to recognised industry standards for compatibility and performance.

Features and Benefits:

• Single‑mode construction 9/125 μm for long‑distance testing
  Compatible with OptiFibre Pro OTDR for accurate referencing
  Meets TIA and ISO standards for interoperability
  Serves as a reference launch cable to improve OTDR event detection

Applications

• Used with OptiFibre Pro OTDR during fibre characterisation
  Suitable for installation contractors performing long‑span links
  Ideal for laboratory acceptance testing of single‑mode fibres
  Can be used for commissioning and verifying fibre runs
  Employed in field diagnostics to locate splices and faults

What fibre core and cladding dimensions does it use?

It uses a single‑mode fibre with a 9/125 μm core/cladding profile suitable for single‑mode OTDR measurements.

How does it assist OTDR trace interpretation?

It provides a reference reflection‑free segment ahead of the device so loss and reflective events are separated from the instrument’s dead zone.

Which standards govern its compatibility and interoperability?

It is produced in accordance with TIA and ISO specifications relevant to single‑mode test accessories.

Is this cable intended for multimode testing scenarios?

No, it is configured exclusively for single‑mode operation and therefore not suitable for multimode measurements.
