Patchcord RBLINE PC-SC-APC/SC singlemode fiber optic 1 m

RBLINE singlemode fiber optic patchcord PC-SC-APC/SC, 1 m, provides a factory-terminated fiber connection with an SC/APC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other. Designed for singlemode optical links, this 1‑metre cable supports connectorized connections in telecom, data center and FTTH environments where an angled physical contact (APC) polish is required on one side and a standard SC polish on the other. The patchcord is suitable for use in patch panels, equipment interconnection and testing where low back reflection and reliable signal transmission are needed.

Advantages

The RBLINE PC‑SC‑APC/SC patchcord combines an APC connector to minimize back reflection on one end with a standard SC connector on the opposite end for broad equipment compatibility. Its singlemode construction ensures low attenuation and stable optical performance over short interconnect runs. Factory polishing and termination deliver consistent connector geometry and reduce the need for field termination, enabling quick installation and reliable repeatable connections.

Suitable for

• Telecom trunk and access links requiring APC terminations
• FTTH installations and optical subscriber connections
• Data center patching between equipment and panels
• Laboratory or field testing where mixed connector types are used

Key specifications

• Cable type: singlemode optical fibre
• Length: 1 m
• Connector A: SC/APC (angled physical contact)
• Connector B: SC (standard physical contact)
• Polish types: APC on one end, PC/UPC-equivalent SC on the other as standard SC termination
• Typical applications: telecom, FTTH, data centre interconnects, testing

How to use

Connect the SC/APC end to the equipment or panel port that requires an angled-polish connector to maintain low return loss. Insert the SC end into the corresponding SC receptacle on the other device or patch panel. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to avoid contamination and insertion loss. Route the 1 m patchcord without sharp bends and avoid excessive tension; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for singlemode fibre to preserve optical performance.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, inspect and clean both connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Use the SC/APC end only with APC-compatible ports to prevent mechanical mating issues and degraded optical performance. For permanent runs or when additional strain relief is required, secure the cable near the connector using cable ties or clips designed for fibre optic cabling.
