BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC/SC-APC Singlemode 15 Metres

The BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC/SC-APC Singlemode 15 Metres is a high-performance fibre optic cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. Featuring a SC/UPC connector on one end and a SC/APC connector on the other, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal signal reflection.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity with insertion loss ≤0.3 dB and return loss ≥50 dB (UPC) / ≥60 dB (APC). The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in confined spaces, reducing toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire. The 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter ensures compatibility with standard singlemode networks, while the durable 3.0 mm cable diameter and zirconia ceramic ferrule guarantee long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• Data Centers
• Local Area Networks (LAN)
• Telecommunication Networks
• FTTx (Fiber to the x) deployments
• Any singlemode fibre optic connection requiring SC/UPC to SC/APC termination
