Fiber patchcord LANBERG SC/APC–SC/APC simplex 3.0 mm LSZH G.657.A1 5 m, yellow

Fiber patchcord LANBERG SC/APC–SC/APC simplex 3.0 mm LSZH G.657.A1 5 m, yellow is a single-mode fiber jumper with SC/APC connectors on both ends and a 5‑metre cord length. The cable features a 3.0 mm outer jacket and uses G.657.A1 bend‑insensitive fiber to reduce signal loss in tight routing situations. The LSZH (low‑smoke zero‑halogen) jacket formulation minimizes toxic and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire, making the patchcord suitable for indoor installations and environments with strict safety requirements.

Advantages

The patchcord delivers low insertion loss and stable single‑mode performance thanks to precision SC/APC connectors and bend‑insensitive G.657.A1 fiber. Its 3.0 mm jacket provides mechanical protection while remaining flexible for routing through panels and conduits. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces by emitting less smoke and no halogenated gases when exposed to high temperatures. The simplex configuration simplifies point‑to‑point connections and reduces excess cabling where only one fiber is required.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber drop connections and indoor subscriber premises
• Interconnection between fiber optic patch panels and active equipment
• Telecommunications and data center single‑mode links
• Environments requiring low‑smoke, low‑toxicity cabling materials

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single‑mode, bend‑insensitive G.657.A1
• Connector type: SC/APC to SC/APC, simplex
• Length: 5 m
• Jacket diameter: 3.0 mm
• Jacket material: LSZH (low‑smoke zero‑halogen)
• Color: yellow (single‑mode standard color)

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before connecting; use a fiber cleaning tool if necessary. Align the SC/APC connectors with the corresponding SC/APC ports and insert until the connector latches into place. For removal, depress the latch and pull straight out without twisting. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding radii smaller than those recommended for G.657.A1 fiber to maintain low loss. Secure the cable to racks or trays using soft ties or clips that do not compress the jacket.

Usage recommendations

Store the patchcord coiled loosely and protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For optimal performance, avoid repeated connector mating cycles and perform periodic inspection and cleaning of end faces. Use this single‑mode SC/APC–SC/APC cable where angled‑polish connectors are required to reduce back‑reflection in optical links.
