OTDR Launch Cables, AFL Fiber Rings
It is recommended that the OTDR launch cable be longer than the dead zone. The shorter 150 meter lengths are ideal for premises fiber network test applications. We also carry single mode OTDR

OTDR launch cable datasheet
It allows the OTDR to settle down properly and gives you a chance to see the condition of the initial connector on the cable plant. It should be long, at least 500 to 1000 meters to be safe, and the
OTDR Testing Guide for Fiber Optic Cable Inspection
As a rule, you want the range setting on the OTDR to double the length of the test cable. That said, take into account the trade-offs you get when adjusting the test range. When you increase the range, you
