The Fluke Networks SMC9E2KAPCE2KAPC Launch Cord is a long fiber link that allows an OTDR to properly measure the performance of the first and last connector on a fiber optic link. The reflection from the OTDR port effectively blocks the OTDR from seeing the first part of the cable, so using a launch cord allows the OTDR to separate the reflection from the port and the first connector in the link. The SMC-9-E2KAPC/E2KAPC features reference-grade connectors and fibers to minimize the impact of the cord on the measurements. When used in sets of three (one cord included, others sold separately), these cords can support the OptiFiber Pro OTDR's SmartLoop function. This function tests two fibers in both directions and averages the measurements as required by TIA-568.3-D standards in seconds, without needing to take the OTDR to the far end.
