Patchcord single-mode RBLINE PC-SC-APC/SC-APC-20 20 m single-mode fiber, SC/APC to SC/APC

RBLINE single-mode patchcord PC-SC-APC/SC-APC-20 is a 20 m optical fiber cable with SC/APC male connectors on both ends, designed to establish low-loss single-mode links between SC/APC interfaces. The cable supports connections in telecommunications networks, FTTH deployments, data centers and laboratory testing where minimized back-reflection and stable signal transmission are required. The angled-polish (APC) connector endfaces reduce return loss and help maintain signal integrity over longer distances.

Advantages

This single-mode fiber patchcord offers stable optical performance with APC-angled connectors to lower back-reflection compared to flat-polish types. The 20 m length provides flexibility in routing between patch panels, equipment racks and optical transmitters/receivers without additional splicing. Machined ferrules ensure repeatable mating and the cable construction supports standard single-mode transmission characteristics for long-distance and high-bandwidth applications.

Suitable for

• FTTH and FTTx drop and distribution connections
• Interconnects between optical patch panels and transceivers in data centers
• Telecommunications links that require low return loss
• Laboratory and field testing where SC/APC interfaces are used

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode
• Connector type: SC/APC to SC/APC, male on both ends
• Cable length: 20 m
• Polish type: angled (APC) to minimize back-reflection
• Typical application: optical patching, interconnection and testing

How to use

Route the patchcord between SC/APC ports, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress that could increase attenuation. Before mating connectors, inspect endfaces for dirt or damage and clean with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools if necessary. Insert each SC/APC connector into the corresponding female adapter or transceiver port until it clicks or seats fully; ensure connectors are aligned and secured in patch panels or equipment to prevent strain. When disconnecting, pull on the connector body rather than the cable jacket.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, store and handle the patchcords in a clean environment, use dust caps when connectors are not in use, maintain minimum bend radius as specified by standard single-mode patchcord guidelines, and perform regular visual and optical inspections to verify low insertion loss and return loss.
