LC/APC to SC/APC Fiber Patch Cable - Single Mode OS2 9/125μm Duplex

LC/APC to SC/APC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable - Duplex High-performance single-mode fiber optic patch cable with LC/APC connectors on one end and SC/APC connectors on the other. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on both connectors delivers superior back-reflection performance (≤60 dB return loss), making this cable essential for PON/GPON systems, CATV networks, and FTTH applications. The compact LC snap-in connector (Lucent Connector) is ideal for high-density installations and SFP/XFP transceivers, while the SC push-pull connector (Subscriber/Standard Connector) is the industry standard for fiber-to-the-home deployments. Key Features High-speed single-mode transmission for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications APC polish on both ends - angled 8° ferrule minimizes back-reflection (≤60 dB return loss) Hybrid connector design - compact LC for modern devices, standard SC for FTTH infrastructure LC snap-in connector with 1.25mm form factor for high-density installations SC push-pull connector with 2.5mm ferrule for reliable, industry-standard connections Low insertion loss - ≤0.15 dB typical for optimal signal transmission Tool-free installation on both ends - snap-in LC and push-pull SC Plug-and-play compatible with SFP modules, XFP transceivers, and passive optical equipment Superior performance for wavelength-sensitive and high-precision optical systems FTTH ready - ideal for PON/GPON fiber to the home networks UL Listed in both Canada and the US RoHS compliant for environmental safety Technical Specifications Fiber Mode: Single Mode (OS2) Fiber Type: 9/125μm Connector Type: LC/APC to SC/APC (Hybrid) Connector Style: Duplex configuration Polish Type: APC (Angled Physical Contact) on both ends - 8° angle LC Ferrule Diameter: 1.25 mm SC Ferrule Diameter: 2.5 mm Typical Insertion Loss: ≤ 0.15 dB Maximum Insertion Loss: ≤ 0.30 dB Maximum Return Loss: ≤ 60 dB Certifications: UL Listed (US & Canada), RoHS Compliant Applications Essential for PON/GPON fiber to the home (FTTH) systems, CATV distribution networks, passive optical networks, connecting SFP/XFP modules to SC-equipped OLT devices, telecommunications infrastructure, high-precision test equipment, and any application where superior signal integrity and minimal back-reflection are critical between LC and SC equipment. Why Choose APC Polish? The angled physical contact (APC) polish on both connectors reduces back-reflection to ≤60 dB compared to ≤50 dB with UPC polish, preventing signal interference and ensuring superior performance in PON/GPON deployments and wavelength-sensitive optical systems where even minimal reflection can cause network issues.
