Fiber Optic Cable DELOCK 12x SC-APC Simplex Male to 12x Open Cable End 1m

DELOCK Fiber Optic Cable 12x SC-APC Simplex Male to 12x Open Cable End, 1 m, is a single-mode multi-fiber pigtail designed for splicing, testing and short interconnect runs. One end is terminated with twelve SC-APC simplex connectors that provide angled physical contact to reduce back reflection, while the opposite end consists of twelve open (bare) fiber ends for fusion or mechanical splicing and for installation into patch panels or distribution frames. The 1 meter length supports tidy routing inside racks, cabinets or laboratory setups.

Advantages

This fibre optic pigtail offers low back reflection and consistent optical performance due to SC-APC terminations, which are suitable for single-mode networks. Pre-terminated connectors simplify installation and reduce on-site termination time, while the open cable ends allow precise splicing to existing cabling or direct connection to equipment via splices. The compact 1 m length makes the cable manageable in confined spaces such as cabinets and test benches.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Splicing fibre to patch panels and distribution frames
• Laboratory testing and temporary connections in single-mode networks
• FTTH and data centre fibre installations where SC-APC terminations are required
• Pre-terminated pigtail runs inside network cabinets and enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for single-mode applications with SC-APC connectors; it is not suitable for multimode networks or systems requiring non-angled connector types such as SC-PC. Because one end is open (bare fibers), it is not intended for direct use without splicing or proper termination and requires appropriate tools and skills for safe and low-loss connections.

Key specifications

• Connector type (one end): 12 × SC-APC simplex
• Cable termination (other end): 12 × open (bare) fiber ends for splicing
• Fibre type: single-mode
• Length: 1 m
• Application: pigtail for splicing and patching

How to use

Route the 1 m pigtail inside the cabinet or enclosure to the desired splice tray or patch panel. Secure the SC-APC terminated end into the corresponding adapter or temporary test adapter, observing correct polarity and connector cleanliness. Prepare the open fiber ends for fusion or mechanical splicing following standard fibre handling procedures: strip, clean, cleave and splice using appropriate fusion splicer or mechanical splice tools. After splicing, protect splices with heat-shrink sleeves or splice protectors and dress the cable to avoid tight bends.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your system uses single-mode fibre and SC-APC connectors
• Verify that a 1 m length suits your routing and cabinet layout
• Confirm you have tools and skills for fusion or mechanical splicing, or plan to use professional installation

Usage recommendations

Maintain cleanliness of SC-APC ferrules and handle bare fibres with appropriate ESD and fibre safety measures. Avoid bending below the cable's minimum bend radius and protect splices with proper sleeves to ensure low-loss and long-term reliability.
