Description
 
The Dead Zone Eliminator® (DZE) is designed to aid in the testing of fiber optic cable when using an OTDR. The unit 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 6 km. Simply specify the fiber type, length and the connector style required for the input and output lead.
