Fiber optic patch cord Alantec SC/APC-SC duplex singlemode 9/125 µm 1.0 m

Alantec fiber optic patch cord SC/APC-SC duplex singlemode 9/125 µm, 1.0 m is a precision-made jumper for singlemode optical links. It features SC/APC to SC duplex connectors and a 9/125 µm core/cladding fiber designed for low insertion loss and stable singlemode transmission. The 1.0 m length and duplex configuration provide a compact solution for connecting transmit and receive channels in patch panels, optical equipment and telecom cabinets.

Advantages

The cable uses singlemode 9/125 µm fiber for consistent low-loss performance and long-distance signal integrity. SC/APC connectors with angled polished ferrules reduce back reflection and ensure reliable optical mating; the keyed APC design facilitates correct polarity and easy insertion. Duplex SC connectors keep paired channels organized and reduce installation time in dense patching environments. The 1.0 m length balances manageability and reach for short interconnect runs.

Suitable for

• Telecommunication racks and backbone links
• Data center patch panels and switch interconnects
• Optical transceiver and equipment connections
• FTTx termination points and subscriber leads

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (9/125 µm)
• Connector A: SC/APC (angled polish) duplex
• Connector B: SC duplex
• Configuration: duplex (TX/RX pair)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Application: indoor patching, equipment interconnects

How to use

Identify transmit and receive ports on both ends of the link and align the duplex connectors according to the keyed APC orientation. Insert the SC/APC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports until they click or seat firmly; avoid excessive bending of the fiber beyond its minimum bend radius. For best performance, keep connector end faces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges, tight loops and mechanical strain, and secure it within cable management trays or patch panels.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the housing and avoid touching the ferrule end face. Regularly inspect and clean connector end faces to maintain low insertion loss and low reflectance. Use this 1.0 m duplex patch cord for short interconnects inside racks and panels; select longer lengths for greater reach and different connector types if system compatibility requires it.
