Patchcord singlemode RBLINE PC-SC-APC/SC-APC-10 fiber optic cable 10 m

Singlemode fiber optic patchcord RBLINE PC-SC-APC/SC-APC-10 is a 10-meter duplex cable with SC-APC connectors on both ends, designed for singlemode optical networks. It provides a low-loss connection with angled physical contact (APC) terminations to minimize back reflection, making it suitable for installations requiring high return loss stability. The cable is built to connect equipment, patch panels and distribution frames in telecom, data centre and FTTH environments where singlemode performance and APC connector geometry are required.

Advantages

The RBLINE PC-SC-APC/SC-APC-10 offers consistent singlemode transmission with low insertion loss and enhanced return loss performance thanks to SC-APC connectors. Its 10 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack and patch panel connections. The cable assembly is suitable for repeated plug/unplug cycles and provides stable optical performance when used in professional network environments.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications backbone links and equipment interconnects
• Data centre patching between switches, transceivers and distribution frames
• FTTH subscriber and distribution point connections that require APC terminations
• Laboratory and test setups requiring predictable singlemode performance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: singlemode (ITU-T G.652 compliant typical)
• Connector type: SC-APC to SC-APC, angled physical contact
• Length: 10 meters
• Configuration: duplex patchcord
• Typical performance: low insertion loss and high return loss due to APC end-face geometry
• Application environment: indoor telecom, data centre and FTTH cabling

How to use

Connect each SC-APC connector to the corresponding SC-APC adapter or transceiver port, ensuring alignment and secure seating until a tactile click or stop is felt. Route the 10 m duplex cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended for singlemode fiber to preserve optical performance. For patch panel connections, use appropriate cable management and strain relief to prevent connector stress and to keep insertion loss stable over time.

Usage recommendations

Before installing, inspect connector end-faces for contamination and clean with approved fiber-cleaning tools if necessary. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius and secure it with cable ties or management rings to prevent stress on connectors. When replacing or re-terminating, ensure cleaning and proper mating procedures to maintain low insertion loss and high return loss characteristic of APC connections.
