BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-APC/SC-APC Single Mode 0.5 m

The BlueOptics SFP2222BU0.5MM is a high-quality simplex fibre optic patch cable designed for single-mode applications. With SC/APC connectors on both ends and a length of 0.5 metres, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for critical network connections in data centres, FTTH, LAN, and telecommunication systems.

Advantages

This cable offers excellent performance with a maximum insertion loss of ≤0.25 dB and a minimum return loss of ≥60 dB. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces, while the yellow colour ensures easy identification. The 9/125 µm core/cladding is optimised for single-mode transmission at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects
• Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) installations
• Local area networks (LAN)
• Telecommunication networks
• Any single-mode fibre optic application requiring SC/APC connectors
