The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a vital tool for fiber optic testing. However, there is an unwanted phenomenon known as ‘dead zone’ that occurs when using an OTDR. The dead zone is something that occurs when the pulse width changes and causes a high degree of reflection that can cover an area several hundred meters from where the OTDR is located. This results in the OTDR device not being able to detect events or issues in that area. Launch cables eliminate this dead zone. ZERO launch cables are offered in a variety of connector styles, including SC, ST, LC, and FC.
