The EXFO PSB/SPSB series launch and receive cables are passive optical accessories designed for use with OTDR instruments. When connected to an OTDR, the launch cable provides sufficient fiber length to move the instrument's dead zone away from the fiber under test, enabling accurate characterisation of the first and last connectors and splices in the link.
The PSB-B-2200-89-101 is a single-mode launch cable with a nominal length of 2200 m, making it suitable for use with OTDRs that have longer dead zones or for applications requiring extended launch distances.
Key Features:
• Eliminates OTDR dead zone at the near end of the fiber under test
• Enables loss and reflectance measurement on the first and last connections
• Compatible with EXFO FTB-series and other OTDR platforms
• Single-mode fiber construction
