Fibre optic cable 10m SC/APC MACLEAN MCTV-436

The Maclean MCTV-436 is a high-quality 10-meter single-mode fibre optic patchcord designed for reliable data transmission in professional networking environments. Featuring SC/APC connectors on both ends, this cable utilizes angled physical contact technology to minimize back reflection, ensuring signal integrity in demanding applications. Its robust construction and precise engineering make it an essential component for maintaining stable optical links in modern telecommunications and data infrastructure.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers superior signal performance due to its G657A2 single-mode fiber standard, which provides excellent flexibility and low bending loss. The SC/APC connectors are specifically designed to reduce return loss, which is critical for high-bandwidth applications and sensitive optical equipment. The 10-meter length provides sufficient reach for most standard indoor installations, while the simplex design ensures a clean and organized cable management process within server racks or distribution boxes.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks
• CCTV surveillance systems requiring long-distance signal transmission
• CATV cable television installations
• Connecting optical network terminals and routers
• Professional data center and server room infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use without proper protective conduit or shielding, as it is designed for indoor environments. It is also incompatible with multi-mode fiber equipment, as it is strictly a single-mode patchcord.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 meters
• Connector type: SC/APC to SC/APC
• Fiber type: Single-mode (G657A2)
• Configuration: Simplex
• Application: Indoor use

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the SC/APC connectors. Ensure that the optical ports on your devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. Gently align the connector with the port and push until you hear a click, indicating a secure connection. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or permanent damage to the fiber core.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment ports are compatible with SC/APC connectors
• Ensure your network infrastructure requires single-mode fiber
• Measure the required distance to confirm that 10 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your installation environment is indoors

Usage recommendations

Always keep the connector tips clean using specialized fiber cleaning tools to maintain optimal signal quality and prevent permanent damage to the optical interface.
