Fibre Optic Launch Boxes
A fibre optic launch box, also called a dead zone eliminator, launch lead or pulse suppressor are long runs of fibre terminated at both ends with fibre optic connectors and protected inside a rugged protective carry case.
This can have many useful applications for the fibre optic technician :
- OTDR Dead Zone Eliminator
- Distance Simulation
- Equipment Calibration
- Delay Line
Optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs) can give errors if the lead to be tested is plugged in directly. If a launch lead is is placed before it the OTDR can operate correctly and diagnose the fault.
As kilometers of fibre can be specified in a launch box they give the customer a test environment mirroring a true to life fibre installation.
With the known fibre length equipment calibration can be performed.
The slight delay in the signal entering and exiting a long length of fibre is essential for some applications.
