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

SC/APC to SC/APC Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable - Simplex

Boost your network performance with our SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable, engineered for ultra-clean optical signals with minimal back-reflection. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on both SC connectors delivers exceptional return loss performance (≤60 dB), making this simplex cable ideal for unidirectional transmission in PON/GPON systems, CATV distribution, DWDM networks, and FTTH deployments. The industry-standard SC push-pull connectors (Subscriber/Standard Connector) provide secure, reliable single-fiber connectivity.

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
• Simplex construction - single fiber strand for dedicated transmit or receive paths
• 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
• Cost-effective solution - simplex design for unidirectional applications
• Industry-standard SC design - most common connector for FTTH and telecom applications
• 2.5mm ferrule - reliable, proven connector technology
• Factory-terminated and tested - IL/RL tested for quality assurance
• 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 (OLT to splitter connections), CATV distribution systems, DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks, long-haul telecommunications infrastructure, unidirectional point-to-point links, single-fiber connections in high-performance environments, and any wavelength-sensitive application requiring minimal back-reflection with single-direction transmission.

Why Choose Simplex SC/APC?

Simplex cables are ideal for applications requiring only one-way data transmission, making them more cost-effective than duplex cables when bidirectional communication isn't needed. The combination of simplex design with SC/APC connectors provides superior back-reflection performance for PON/GPON distribution, CATV systems, and other applications where a single fiber strand is sufficient and signal integrity is critical.
