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

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.
