Singlemode Launch Cord 160 m
This Fluke SMC9LCLCM is a 160 metre singlemode fibre launch cable terminated with LC metal connectors. It is built for technicians who need a reference lead when testing long-haul links with an OTDR or loss test set. The cord supports wavelengths of 850, 1300, 1310, 1490, 1550 and 1625 nanometres.
Replaces Shorter Reference Leads
A 160 metre length covers the dead zone on extended singlemode spans where shorter cords leave the first events unmeasured. The upgrade is worth it when certifying links beyond 100 metres or when the test specification calls for a launch fibre matching the 9 micron core of the installed plant. It does not suit multimode applications or patching between active equipment.
LC Metal Connectors Install Easily
The metal LC ferrules mate with standard LC adapters on test ports and patch panels without special tools. Clean the end faces before every connection to avoid contamination that raises insertion loss. The cable jacket is not rated for direct burial or aerial lashing, so protect it in harsh environments. Do not exceed the bend radius during storage or deployment.

Questions about this item
What connectors are on the ends of this 160 m Fluke launch cord?
The cable terminates in LC metal connectors on both ends for singlemode fibre connections.
How should the LC metal ferrules be handled during installation to avoid damage?
Keep protective caps on until mating, clean each end-face with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol, then inspect before connecting.
Which wavelengths does this singlemode launch cord support for future testing needs?
It is qualified for 1310 nm and 1550 nm operation, matching common singlemode test equipment.
