Fibre Optic Launch Leads

Professional Fibre Launch Leads

Fibre launch leads, also known as launch cables or launch boxes, are essential accessories for accurate OTDR testing. They create the required dead zone between the OTDR and the fibre under test, allowing engineers to accurately measure connector loss, splice performance and the first and last events on a fibre link. At Telenco UK, we supply professional fibre launch leads designed for reliable, repeatable testing with EXFO OTDRs and other leading test equipment.

Why use fibre launch leads?

Using a professional fibre launch lead significantly improves OTDR measurement accuracy by eliminating front-end dead zones and enabling complete characterisation of the fibre link. Launch and receive leads help engineers achieve more precise certification results while reducing the risk of missed faults or inaccurate loss measurements.

What fibre launch leads are available?

Our range includes singlemode launch leads, multimode launch leads, launch boxes, receive fibre leads, OTDR launch cables, fibre test leads, SC, LC, FC and ST connector options, plus fibre testing accessories. Suitable for use with EXFO and other professional OTDR platforms, these products support accurate fibre certification and troubleshooting.

Applications Across Fibre Networks

Fibre launch leads are widely used for FTTH deployments, FTTx installations, Openreach PIA projects, data centres, enterprise cabling, mobile networks, broadband infrastructure and utility communications. They are ideal for OTDR acceptance testing, fibre certification, splice verification, fault location and preventative maintenance across singlemode and multimode networks.
