Description

The Dead Zone Eliminator^® (DZE) is designed to aid in the testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR. The DZE is used with Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR's) to help minimize the effects of the OTDR's launch pulse on measurement uncertainty.

Units are available in any length up to 5km. Simply specify the fiber type required, length and the connector style for the input and output bulkhead.
