SC/APC simplex fiber patch cable, singlemode 9/125 µm, 0.5 m, 3 mm, white, LSZH

Simplex SC/APC fiber patch cable with SC/APC connector, singlemode 9/125 µm (OS2, G.657B3), 0.5 m length and 3 mm LSZH jacket in white. This pre-terminated simplex jumper cable is intended for single-fiber connections between equipment or to an optical distribution frame, featuring angled-polish SC/APC terminations and an armored construction for increased mechanical protection.

Advantages

The cable provides low insertion loss and improved return loss thanks to APC-APC polishing. Its LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, and the 3 mm armored assembly increases durability and protection against mechanical damage. The simplex SC/APC termination is suitable for single-fiber xWDM applications and short interconnects inside enclosures or between active components.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and premises wiring requiring SC/APC angled terminations
• Telecom and datacom single-fiber connections
• Short patch links inside distribution frames, patch panels or equipment racks
• Environments where reduced smoke (LSZH) and mechanical protection (armoring) are needed

• Operating/storage temperature: -40 to +70 °C

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before mating and clean if necessary. Insert the SC/APC connector into corresponding SC/APC adapters or equipment ports, ensuring the angled key orientation matches the mating adapter. Route the 3 mm armored cable without sharp bends; respect minimum bend radius as specified by the installer or manufacturer. Use the cable for single-fiber connections in enclosures, patch panels or directly to routers and active devices.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connectors clean and protect unused connectors with dust caps. Avoid repeated sharp bending and excessive tensile load; armored construction provides extra protection but does not eliminate the need for proper handling. Armored patchcords with G.657B3 fiber are suitable for household installations and can better withstand pet chewing than non-armored variants.
