SC/APC simplex fiber optic cable, singlemode 9/125 µm, 15 m, 3 mm, LSZH, white

Simplex SC/APC fiber optic cable, singlemode 9/125 µm, 15 m, 3 mm, LSZH, white is a single‑fiber patch cable designed for point‑to‑point optical connections. It features an SC connector with APC (angled physical contact) endface to reduce back reflection and maintain stable signal quality in singlemode networks. The 3 mm jacket and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material make the cable suitable for indoor installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. This 15 m simplex fiber is intended for direct interconnects between equipment, FTTH patching, and other single‑fiber applications.

Advantages

The SC/APC termination provides low return loss and consistent optical performance for singlemode signals. The 3 mm LSZH jacket offers a balance between flexibility and mechanical protection while minimizing hazardous emissions in enclosed spaces. As a simplex cable, it occupies less space in racks and enclosures compared with duplex assemblies and is suitable where a single transmit or receive fiber is required. The 9/125 µm singlemode fiber core conforms to common singlemode standards and supports long‑distance, high‑bandwidth transmission in telecom and access networks.

Suitable for

• FTTH patching and home fiber connections
• Point‑to‑point equipment interconnects in telecom and data closets
• Indoor optical links in telecom rooms and server cabinets
• Single‑fiber xWDM and singlemode test connections

How to use

Install the simplex SC/APC fiber cable by routing the 3 mm LSZH jacket along cable trays or within enclosures, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile load. Insert the SC/APC connector into the corresponding SC/APC adapter or transceiver socket with gentle axial pressure until it latches. Ensure mating adapters are clean and free from dust before connection; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools to remove contaminants from the endface. For disconnection, release the SC latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or adapter.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with the cable specifications (typically several times the cable diameter) and avoid repeated flexing near connector ends. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated and handle connectors by the boot or connector body to avoid touching the ferrule. For installations in populated indoor spaces, the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions; follow local regulations for indoor cabling and pathway management.
