Launch Fiber

Instruction Sheet

The NFKx-LAUNCH launch fibers are used with the OF-500 OptiFiber™tester during

OTDR tests. Using a launch fiber lets the tester measure the loss of the first

connector in the cabling. You may also use a NFKx-LAUNCH fiber as a receive fiber.

Using a receive fiber lets the tester measure the loss of the last connector in the

cabling.

A launch fiber comes with the following:

•Instruction sheet

Safety Information

WWarning

To avoid possible eye damage caused by hazardous radiation, never look

directly into optical output connectors. Some sources produce invisible

radiation that can permanently damage your eyes.

Using the Launch Fiber

Figure 1 shows where to connect launch and fibers for OTDR tests. Always clean all

connectors before making connections.

To remove the launch and receive fibers’ losses and lengths from measurements, use

the tester’s launch fiber compensation function. See the OF-500 OptiFiber Users

Manual or the tester’s online help for details and additional information on launch

and receive fibers.

Maintenance

Always clean and inspect the launch fiber connectors before making connections.

Use either of the following for cleaning:

•Lint-free swabs or wipes moistened with isopropyl alcohol

•Pre-moistened swabs or wipes approved for use on fiber connectors

Use a fiber microscope, such as the Fluke Networks OFTM-5352 FiberInspector™

Video Probe, to inspect fiber endfaces for damage. If a launch fiber endface is

damaged, you should replace the launch fiber as it may cause unreliable test results.
