Tempo LC-500 Launch Cable with Patch Panel Matrix, 500m

Designed to remove guesswork from OTDR measurements, the Tempo Communications LC-500 Launch Cable with Patch Panel Matrix delivers reliable, professional test results for long single-mode links. As a 500m OTDR launch cable and fiber optic patch panel accessory, the LC-500 compensates for the OTDR deadzone so technicians can characterise the input connector and initial span that would otherwise be masked. The universal connection matrix interfaces with SC, LC, FC and ST connectors and supports APC and UPC terminations, reducing the need for multiple patch cables on site.

Built with a yellow PVC jacket for visibility and rated for indoor/outdoor use, this compact launch cable is ideal for commissioning and troubleshooting fiber runs in security, surveillance, network monitoring and enterprise backbone applications. Use the LC-500 to speed up fault isolation, produce cleaner OTDR traces, and standardise testing across patch panels and monitoring systems. Add the LC-500 to your test kit to streamline fiber validation and maintenance workflows.
