QOLTEC fiber patchcord FC/APC to SC/APC Singlemode 9/125 G.652D Simplex 15 m

QOLTEC fiber patchcord FC/APC to SC/APC Singlemode 9/125 G.652D Simplex 15 m is a singlemode fiber optic cable designed for low-loss connections between equipment with FC/APC and SC/APC terminations. The cable uses a 9/125 µm core compatible with G.652D fibre standards and is supplied in a 15 m simplex configuration. The patchcord is suitable for telecom and data centre applications where angled physical contact (APC) connectors are required to reduce back reflection and ensure signal integrity.

Advantages

The FC/APC to SC/APC configuration provides reliable, low-reflection connections thanks to APC polished end-faces; the singlemode 9/125 µm fibre ensures long-distance, low-attenuation signal transmission. The simplex design and standard connector types simplify point-to-point interconnects between devices. The cable length of 15 m offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or room-to-room links without additional splicing.

Suitable for

• Telecommunication links requiring low back-reflection
• Data centre equipment interconnects between FC and SC ports
• Optical network termination and patch panels
• Laboratory and test bench connections for singlemode systems

How to use

Inspect both connectors for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Plug the FC/APC end into the equipment with the matching FC/APC receptacle and secure any threaded coupling if present. Insert the SC/APC end into the corresponding SC/APC port until it clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radii consistent with singlemode fibre handling guidelines to prevent increased attenuation or damage.

Usage recommendations

Use APC-to-APC connections where back-reflection must be minimized, for example in analogue video, RF-over-fibre or sensitive optical receiver applications. Store the patchcord coiled with gentle loops and protect connector end-faces with dust caps when not in use. For long-term installations, plan cable routing to avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.
