The Fluke Networks SMC-9-SCAPC/FC Singlemode Launch Cable is a 160-meter OTDR launch cord designed for accurate fiber optic testing with the OptiFiber Pro OTDR. Built with 9/125 µm single-mode fiber, it enables accurate measurement of insertion loss and reflectance at the first and last connections of a fiber link while reducing measurement uncertainty through the use of reference-grade fiber and connectors. Unlike other OTDR launch reels, the SMC-9-SCAPC/FC is housed in a compact, rugged zippered case that allows technicians to deploy only the amount of cable needed, helping maintain a clean and organized work area. Ideal for testing OS1 and OS2 single-mode fiber networks, the launch cable features a SC connector with APC polish/finish on one end and a FC connector with UPC polish/finish on the other, providing exceptional durability and reliable connectivity for demanding field and data center environments.
