SC/APC to SC/APC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable - Duplex
Elevate your network performance with our SC/APC to SC/APC Duplex OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable, engineered for ultra-low back-reflection and superior signal integrity. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on both SC connectors delivers exceptional return loss performance (≤60 dB), making this cable essential for PON/GPON systems, CATV distribution, DWDM networks, and FTTH deployments. The industry-standard SC push-pull connectors (Subscriber/Standard Connector) provide secure, reliable connections in high-density environments.
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)
- OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125 μm) - optimized for long-reach links and pristine signal quality
- Duplex construction - two fibers in one jacket for simultaneous Tx/Rx channels
- SC push-pull connectors with square latch design for fast, tool-free installation
- Low insertion loss - ≤0.15 dB typical for optimal signal transmission
- Superior back-reflection performance - critical for DWDM and wavelength-sensitive systems
- Industry-standard SC design - most common connector for FTTH and telecom applications
- 2.5mm ferrule - reliable, proven connector technology
- Factory-terminated and tested - independently verified for quality and reliability
- UL Listed in both Canada and the US
- RoHS compliant for environmental safety

Applications
Essential for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments, PON/GPON passive optical networks, CATV distribution systems, DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks, high-density patch panels requiring low-reflection connectivity, telecommunications infrastructure, long-haul network links, and any wavelength-sensitive application where signal integrity and minimal back-reflection are critical.
Why Choose SC/APC?
The combination of industry-standard SC connectors with APC polish provides the best of both worlds: the reliability and familiarity of SC's push-pull design with the superior back-reflection performance of APC's 8° angled polish. This makes SC/APC cables the preferred choice for FTTH, PON/GPON, and CATV networks where even minimal signal reflection can cause network issues or service degradation.
