BlueOptics Duplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-APC/SC-APC Singlemode 3 Metres

The BlueOptics Duplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-APC/SC-APC Singlemode 3 Metres is a high-performance fibre optic cable designed for reliable data transmission in singlemode networks. With OS2 fibre classification and duplex configuration, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for demanding telecommunications and data centre applications.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity with typical insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB and return loss greater than 60 dB. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces, while the yellow colour ensures easy identification. Ceramic ferrules guarantee precise alignment and durability.

Suitable for

• Fibre optic network installations requiring singlemode OS2 performance
