## Summary description

Duplex singlemode optical patch cable with SC/APC connectors on both ends, 5 meters long. Designed for fiber optic signal transmission in telecommunication and data networks, it provides low insertion loss and stable connection between equipment with SC/APC interfaces. Suitable for patch panels, switches, ODFs and fiber links requiring angled physical contact.

## Long description

Duplex singlemode optical patch cable with SC/APC connectors on both ends and a length of 5 meters. The cable is intended for fiber optic signal transmission in telecommunication and data networks where angled physical contact connectors are required to reduce back reflection. It provides a stable duplex link between devices with SC/APC interfaces, suitable for use in patch panels, optical distribution frames (ODFs), switches and other fiber links that require low insertion loss and reliable optical continuity.
Advantages
The SC/APC–SC/APC duplex singlemode cable offers low insertion loss and reduced return loss due to angled physical contact (APC) ferrules. Duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels within a single cable assembly while maintaining polarity. The standardized SC connector housing ensures simple push-pull mating and easy installation in standard adapters and patch panels. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections.
Suitable for
 Interconnecting patch panels and ODFs in telecom rooms and data centres
 Linking switches, media converters and optical transceivers with SC/APC ports
 Point-to-point fiber links that require low back reflection
 Laboratory and testing setups where a duplex singlemode connection is needed
Key specifications
 Connector type: SC/APC to SC/APC, duplex
 Fiber type: Singlemode (OS1/OS2 compatible)
 Length: 5 m
 Polarity: Duplex (paired Tx/Rx)
 Insertion loss: typical low insertion loss for SC/APC singlemode assemblies
 Return loss: high (low back reflection) due to angled physical contact
 Jacket: flexible outer jacket suitable for indoor installations and cable management
How to use
Route the duplex cable along cable trays or behind equipment racks without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling force. Align each SC/APC connector with the corresponding adapter or port and insert using the push-pull action until it seats. Ensure connector caps are kept on until installation to protect ferrules from contamination. Verify polarity so that the transmit (Tx) of one device connects to the receive (Rx) of the other when making duplex links.
Usage recommendations
Before finalising connections, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent increased loss. Maintain bend radius guidelines specified for singlemode fiber and secure the cable to prevent movement or strain. For links requiring measured performance, test insertion loss and return loss after installation.
