Fiber optic patchcord TB SC‑SC APC 2 m, singlemode, white

TB fiber optic patchcord SC‑SC APC 2 m in white is a preterminated singlemode cable with angled physical contact (APC) connectors on both ends. The 2 m length and SC form‑factor connectors make this fiber patchcord suitable for short links and interconnections in telecom racks, FTTH termination panels, data centers and laboratory test setups. The singlemode fibre and APC polish reduce back‑reflection and ensure low insertion loss for stable signal transmission in wavelength‑sensitive applications.

Advantages

This TB SC‑SC APC patchcord provides plug‑and‑play connectivity with a compact SC connector interface and an angled connector endface to minimise return loss. The white jacket offers clear visual identification in cable management, while the factory‑terminated assembly reduces installation time and the risk of field splicing faults. Designed for singlemode links, it supports high‑quality optical transmission with consistent performance across short patch runs.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and indoor subscriber connections
• Interconnects between patch panels and active equipment in data cabinets
• Telecom rack patching and cross‑connects
• Laboratory and testbench measurement setups

When it may not be suitable

This patchcord is intended for singlemode networks and uses SC‑SC APC connectors; it is not suitable for multimode systems or installations requiring different connector types such as LC, ST, or MPO without adapters. For longer trunk runs or outdoor/direct‑burial routing, a longer cable or an outdoor‑rated assembly would be required.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: singlemode
• Connector type: SC‑SC APC on both ends
• Cable length: 2 m
• Jacket colour: white
• Polish type: angled physical contact (APC)
• Typical use: indoor patching and short interconnections

How to use

Ensure equipment ports are clean before connection. Remove protective dust caps from both SC‑APC connectors, align the keyed SC ferrule with the adapter slot and insert until it clicks into place. For disconnection, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid bending the fibre. Route the 2 m cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage. When testing, use appropriate singlemode test equipment and refer to system loss budgets.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with existing connector type (SC‑APC) and singlemode ports
• Verify that 2 m length is sufficient for planned routing and cable management
• Check if a white jacket is required for visual identification or aesthetic reasons
• Assess whether an angled polish (APC) is required for low return loss applications

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the patchcord in a clean environment, keep connector end faces capped when not in use, and avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended radius. Use this SC‑SC APC singlemode patchcord for short, low‑loss links where reduced back‑reflection is important, and pair with compatible SC‑APC adapters or ports to achieve optimal performance.
