OTDR Launch Box

OTDR Dead Zone Eliminating Launch Cable Box:

NetSource Launch Box is a Dead Zone Eliminator that can be attached to the launch and/or receive terminals of an OTDR test set to allow accurate measurement of the first and last connector in the cable plant. The Dead Zone Eliminator is a suitable length of fiber that allows the large UPC reflection at the OTDR interface to decay naturally while providing the natural fiber attention slope required for an accurate measurement.
