SC/APC simplex singlemode optical patch cable 9/125 µm, 1 m, white, 3 mm LSZH

SC/APC simplex singlemode optical patch cable with 9/125 µm OS2 (G.657B3) fiber, 1 m length, white LSZH jacket and 3 mm diameter. The cable is simplex (one fiber, two connectors) terminated with SC/APC connectors on both ends to provide angled physical contact (APC) for reduced back reflection. The cable is armored for increased mechanical resistance and is suitable for indoor telecommunication links, data centers and fiber test setups.

Advantages

The SC/APC simplex patch cable uses singlemode 9/125 µm OS2 (G.657B3) fiber for low-loss, long-distance transmission and improved bend performance. The APC-APC polishing minimizes return loss. An LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes in case of fire, and the armored construction increases mechanical durability. The duplex-splittable connector option is described in the range but this specific item is simplex.

Suitable for

• Telecommunication links and backbone connections
• Data center interconnects and switch-to-transceiver links
• Fiber optic testing and measurement setups
• Indoor installations where LSZH and armored cable are required

How to use

Connect the SC/APC connectors to matching SC/APC ports on transceivers, patch panels or distribution frames, ensuring alignment and a firm click. Avoid excessive bending below the fiber’s minimum bend radius; G.657B3 fiber allows tighter bends but standard handling rules should be followed. For indoor installations, route the cable through ducts or cable management and secure the armored jacket with appropriate clamps. Before connection, inspect connector endfaces and clean with suitable fiber-cleaning tools to ensure low loss and reliable performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this SC/APC simplex armored LSZH patch cable for singlemode links where reduced back reflection and mechanical durability are required. For duplex applications order a duplex variant or two simplex patch cords; for xWDM single-fiber applications choose simplex with appropriate transceivers. Avoid splitting the armored cable housing; follow installer guidance for routing and strain relief.
