Using the FF-LR OTDR Launch Fiber Reel during field testing and calibration jobs, this pulse suppressor and delay line effectively compensates for the OTDR launch pulse. We ordered the 1000m length in G657A bend-insensitive fiber with SC/APC connectors, achieving an impressive return loss above 60dB and typical loss under 0.36dB per kilometer at 1310nm. It comes housed in a rugged hard-shell transit case that protects the spool during transport. For $95 USD (SKU: FF-LR), it is an essential piece of test gear for any fiber installation crew.

The FF-LR OTDR Launch Fiber Reel is built extremely tough for demanding environmental conditions. Its non-metal construction will not dent, corrode, or conduct electricity, while the waterproof and dustproof casing keeps moisture out completely. The compound latch ensures a positive seal, and the auto purge valve handles rapid altitude and temperature shifts smoothly when traveling between job sites. Operating reliably from -40°C to +85°C with excellent repeatability (≤0.2dB), it provides consistent, reliable performance for outdoor testing.

FirstFiber's FF-LR launch reel offers great flexibility with its choice of 500m, 1000m, or 1500m lengths and G652D or G657A fiber types. Whether used for technician training, link calibration, or active field installation, the SC connectors deliver tight exchangeability (≤0.2dB) and high return loss (UPC ≥50dB, APC ≥60dB). Having a reliable launch box in a durable transit case at a reference price of $95 makes standardizing our team's OTDR test kits easy and affordable.
