MANUFACTURING GROUP, LTD A TyRex Technology Family Company HLC Launch Test Cables The Megladon Difference KEY BENEFITS Megladons HLC Launch Test Cables are the ideal a Exclusive HLC Termination Process companion for OTDR testing, and are the highest a SCRATCHGUARD Durable Mating Surface performing launch cables available. They are manufactured a Available in all Major Connector Types, using only the highest quali ty, precision components. UPC or APC We apply our patented HLC laser termination process to a Reference Grade Optical Performance every connector, creating the best possible optical a GR-326 Compliant performance (IL/ORL). The extended durabili ty of the a SM lengths: 150m, 500m, 1km HLC endfaces al lows for uninterrupted testing over longer a MM length: 150m periods, al lowing for reduced testing expense over time. HLC Launch Cables are available in all major glass core sizes and connector types (SC, LC, ST, FC), both UPC and APC, APPLICATIONS and we make a variety of lengths to support both 4 OTDR Testing premise and long haul testing applications. 4 Premise Network Certification For more information on Megladons HLC process 4 B roadband & Long Haul Fiber Testing and products, please visit megladonmfg.com. 4 General Fiber Test & Measurement MEGLADON MANUFACTURING GROUP, LTD.

Optical Performance: The lens that is created on the tip of the connector as a resul t of the HLC process has beneficial optical performance characteristics. It has a focusing effect, creating reference grade Insertion Loss performance on every connector. It also reduces the amount of power reflected at the interconnect, giving our cables the best Optical Return Loss performance available. These two characteristics together create connectors that are ideal ly suited for test and measurement and that deliver consistent, reference grade performance. Scratch Resistance: The lens that is formed also has increased durabili ty relative to a standard connector. When the glass at the tip of the connector is melted and re-hardens, a tempering process takes place, and the resul t is an endface that is less susceptible to damage under normal handling conditions. This endface also resists damage under multiple plugs HLC connectors are rated in excess of 1500 mates, 3x the amount of a standard connector, making it ideal for volume testing.
