Fiber optic SC/APC pigtail electro base SC/A-P-1.0-LSZH, single-mode, 1.0 m, LSZH jacket

Single-mode fiber optic SC/APC pigtail from electro base, model SC/A-P-1.0-LSZH, is a pre-terminated optical jumper with a 1.0 m length and an LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) outer jacket. It is designed for terminating and splicing single-mode fibers in telecom, data centre and indoor network installations, offering a factory-polished SC/APC connector for consistent insertion loss and return loss values while the LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes and corrosive gases in case of fire.

Advantages

The pre-terminated SC/APC connector ensures fast and repeatable installation with minimal field polishing required. The single-mode fiber supports long-distance, low-loss transmission suitable for telecom links and high-speed networks. The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety for indoor use, complying with low-smoke, low-toxicity requirements in populated or enclosed spaces. Durable construction and industry-standard connector geometry contribute to stable optical performance and compatibility with SC/APC adapters and components.

Suitable for

• Fiber termination and fusion splicing in telecom and ISP networks
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centres
• Indoor backbone and horizontal cabling where low-smoke materials are required
• FTTx drop and customer premises installations requiring SC/APC connectors

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (SM)
• Connector type: SC/APC, angled physical contact
• Length: 1.0 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Polish: factory-polished APC endface for low back reflection
• Typical use: pre-terminated pigtail for splicing and termination

How to use

Prepare the fiber in the same manner as standard single-mode splicing procedures: strip the outer jacket, clean and cleave the fiber to the required length, then perform fusion splicing between the pigtail fiber and the field fiber. After splicing, secure the heat-shrink protection and route the pigtail into the patch panel or adapter plate so the SC/APC connector is accessible for mating. Verify optical performance with an OTDR or power meter to confirm acceptable insertion loss and return loss values before finalising the installation.

Usage recommendations

Handle the SC/APC endface with care: keep the protective dust cap on until ready to connect, clean the connector endface with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating, and avoid bending the fiber beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance and mechanical integrity.
