Fiber Optic Cables

OTDR Testers and Accessories for Fiber Link Testing

This range covers portable OTDR testers for fault location and link verification, plus a configurable launch/receive cable box for measuring events near the ends of a fiber link. Start by choosing the tester functions and wavelength plan your work requires, then match the launch fiber to the link's fiber type, connector polish and test procedure.

Which OTDR tester or accessory fits your work?

Choose a model page when you need a field tester, or use the product-line guide when the OTDR class is not yet defined. Add the launch/receive cable box when your procedure must separate near-end or far-end connector events from the OTDR dead zone.

How do I choose an OTDR and its launch fiber?

Choose the tester and the launch fiber as one measurement setup. The OTDR must suit the network and reporting task; the launch fiber must match the tested link and provide enough distance for the selected test settings.

What network are you testing?

Use the OTDR product-line guide when the tester class is undecided. FTTH access work, active PON maintenance and long-span OSP testing can require different wavelengths, dynamic range and event resolution.

Need PON power checks?

Consider the ZCOTDR-4200 family when integrated split-wave or XGPON optical power measurement is part of the workflow. Confirm the exact model, wavelength and live-test limits before ordering.

What should the launch box match?

Match the fiber type and connector polish to the link and instrument port. The OTDR Launch Cable Box supports G.652D, G.657A and OM1–OM4 options with SC, LC, FC or ST connectors.

Launch only or launch plus receive?

Use a launch fiber at the OTDR side to separate the first link event from the launch dead zone. Add a receive fiber at the far end when the procedure must evaluate the final connector event.

Quick comparison

The table separates selection entries, tester models and the launch/receive accessory. Model-dependent functions must be confirmed against the selected version's datasheet.

Where do these OTDR products fit?

These products cover access-network troubleshooting, PON maintenance, fiber acceptance and event measurement. They do not remove the need to match wavelengths, connector polish, fiber mode and test procedure to the actual link.

FTTH / FTTx installation

Use a portable OTDR for drop and distribution fault location, then add a matched launch fiber when connector events must be evaluated outside the instrument's dead zone.

PON / XGPON maintenance

Select the exact ZCOTDR-4200 version around the deployed wavelengths and power-measurement task. Live-network work must stay within the selected version's stated limits and site procedure.

Acceptance and handover

Use launch and receive fibers when both end connectors must be characterized. Record pulse width, wavelength, refractive index, launch length and link configuration so results can be repeated.

Long-span or splitter-heavy links

Do not assume a mini OTDR is sufficient. Confirm the required dynamic range, wavelength, splitter loss budget and event resolution, then select the appropriate OTDR class or model.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OTDR launch cable box?

It is a known length of fiber placed between the OTDR and the link under test. The added distance moves the first link event beyond the instrument's launch dead zone so the near-end connector can be evaluated.

What is the difference between ZCOTDR-2800, 3200 and 4200?

The 2800 is positioned for compact routine testing, the 3200 adds enhanced event mapping, and the 4200 family adds more model-dependent wavelength and multifunction options. Confirm the exact datasheet before comparing performance limits.

Do I need both a launch cable and a receive cable?

Use both when the test procedure requires measurement of the first and last connectors. A launch cable addresses the near end; a receive cable provides fiber beyond the far-end connector so that final event can be characterized.

Can one launch box test both single-mode and multimode links?

No single fiber insert should be treated as interchangeable across modes. Configure the launch box with the fiber type that matches the link under test, and also match connector type and polish.

How long should an OTDR launch fiber be?

It must be long enough for the selected OTDR, pulse width and test procedure, but there is no universal length for every job. The available box supports 100–2000 m; confirm the required length for the instrument and link.

RFQ Checklist

If the exact specification is not known, describe the network and the test task first. The following details allow the tester and launch/receive configuration to be checked without guessing.

  • Network type: FTTH/FTTx, PON/XGPON, OSP, enterprise or data center

  • Fiber type and maximum link length

  • Required test wavelengths and whether the link is active

  • Required dynamic range, blind-zone limits and reporting format

  • Need for Event Map, OPM, XGPON OPM, VFL, light source or RJ45 tracking

  • OTDR port and field connector types, including PC, UPC or APC polish

  • Launch-only or launch-plus-receive workflow and required fiber length

  • Quantity, labeling, packing and requested test documentation
