Fiber optic patchcord LANBERG SC/APC‑SC/APC Simplex 3.0 mm LSZH G.657.A1 3 m yellow

LANBERG Fiber optic patchcord SC/APC‑SC/APC Simplex 3.0 mm LSZH G.657.A1 3 m yellow is a single‑mode patch cable designed for low‑bend‑loss connections in telecom, FTTH, data center and patch panel installations. The cable features SC/APC connectors on both ends in a simplex configuration, a 3.0 mm outer jacket for manageable handling and an LSZH sheath that limits smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. The G.657.A1 fiber type ensures improved bending performance compared to standard single‑mode fibers, while the yellow jacket provides standard single‑mode color coding for easy identification.

Advantages

This LANBERG patchcord provides reliable single‑mode transmission with reduced sensitivity to tight bends thanks to the G.657.A1 fiber specification. The SC/APC connectors deliver stable physical contact and low back reflection suitable for applications where return loss is critical. The 3.0 mm jacket balances flexibility and robustness for everyday handling, and the LSZH outer sheath improves safety in enclosed spaces by producing less smoke and hazardous gases when exposed to fire.

Suitable for

• Fiber‑to‑the‑Home (FTTH) drop and indoor wiring
• Telecommunication links requiring low back reflection
• Data center patch panels and interconnects
• LAN and backbone single‑mode fiber connections
• Environments where low smoke zero halogen cable is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC/APC on both ends, simplex
• Fiber type: single‑mode G.657.A1 (low‑bend‑loss)
• Cable jacket diameter: 3.0 mm
• Outer sheath material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket color: yellow (single‑mode standard)

How to use

Route the LANBERG SC/APC‑SC/APC simplex patchcord between equipment ports, patch panels or optical distribution frames, taking care to avoid sharp bends and pinch points even though the G.657.A1 fiber tolerates tighter radii than standard single‑mode fiber. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating; use appropriate dust caps during storage and a fiber cleaning tool if necessary. Insert the SC/APC connectors into compatible SC/APC adapters or sockets until they click into place, observing proper orientation for APC angled end faces.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connector end faces before each installation to maintain low insertion loss and return loss. Maintain bend radii above the minimum recommended for G.657.A1 to ensure long‑term performance, and secure the cable to prevent strain or repeated flexing. Use LSZH cabling in enclosed or public buildings where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required by safety regulations.
