OTDR Launch Cable Box(Pulse Suppressor or Dead Zone Eliminator) is typically long lengths of fiber (accurately measured) that have been coiled and encased in a rugged, portable box. It holds many benefits when used for fiber characterization and troubleshooting. Essentially, the box is designed to aid in the testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR to help minimize the effects of the OTDR's launch pulse on measurement uncertainty.

Eliminating the “Dead Zone” results in far greater testing accuracy. Also, when used as the connection point between your equipment and a patch panel, they reduce the wear and tear on the costly equipment’s built-in ports, reducing repair, maintenance costs and downtime.

Ideally, a OTDR Launch Cable Box should be used at both ends of the fiber under test, in order to achieve the highest degree of accuracy when characterizing a length of fiber.
