Network Cable SC/APC-SC/APC Single Mode Duplex 3.0mm LSZH Yellow 2m

This Network Cable SC/APC-SC/APC Single Mode Duplex 3.0mm LSZH Yellow 2m is a single‑mode duplex fiber patch cable with SC/APC connectors on both ends and a 3.0 mm low‑smoke zero‑halogen (LSZH) jacket. At 2 meters in length and finished in yellow, the cable is designed for optical signal transmission where single‑mode performance and reduced environmental emissions in case of fire are required. The duplex format supports bidirectional or paired fiber links and the angled polish (APC) on SC connectors minimizes back reflection for stable signal integrity in sensitive telecommunication and data center links.

Advantages

The 3.0 mm LSZH jacket combines mechanical durability with reduced smoke and no halogen release, making the cable suitable for indoor installations and areas with strict fire‑safety regulations. Single‑mode fiber and SC/APC terminations provide low insertion loss and excellent return loss characteristics, which are important for long‑distance or high‑precision optical links. The duplex construction simplifies paired connections and the standardized SC/APC form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of optical equipment and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting single‑mode transceivers and optical equipment in data centers
• Telecommunication backbone links and fiber patch panels
• Indoor cabling in office buildings, comms rooms and riser shafts where LSZH is required
• FTTx drop or customer premises connections requiring SC/APC terminations

How to use

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination and clean with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool if necessary. Route the duplex cable through cable management pathways avoiding sharp bends; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. Insert each SC/APC connector into the corresponding SC/APC adapter or transceiver port until it latches. If testing is required, verify insertion loss and return loss with an appropriate optical test set to confirm link performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Use cable ties or Velcro straps without over‑tightening to secure runs. For permanent installations, label both ends with location and port information. Replace the cable if connector endfaces become scratched or if optical performance degrades beyond acceptable levels.
