OTDR Launch Box

When measuring fiber optic cables using an OTDR, a launch box (also known as a Dead Zone Eliminator) helps to minimize the effects of the OTDR's launch pulse thus improving the accuracy of the measurement. Our high quality launch boxes come in three different housing formats

1) Rugged "PELI" boxes versions are airtight, watertight and incredibly tough. These military approved cases are IP65 rated and are used in the harshest environments. Select this version if you want the best protection for your lead-in fiber.

2) Aluminium "EuroCard" enclosure is smaller, lighter than the PELI case offering an ideal solution for factory or lab environments where space is at a premium.

3) ABS "Midi"style enclosure is slightly larger than the "Euro" for longer fiber lengths.

We can supply a range of products in different fiber types including versions with "ModCon" mode control to enable your OTDR to meet the Encircled Flux launch condition requirement in IEC 61280-4-1.

All our boxes come with a full test certificate and 1 year warranty (except damaged connectors)
