BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC/SC-APC Singlemode 20 Metres

The BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC/SC-APC Singlemode 20 Metres is a high-performance fibre optic cable designed for reliable data transmission in singlemode networks. With a length of 20 metres, it provides flexibility for connecting devices over moderate distances. The cable features SC/UPC on one end and SC/APC connectors on the other, ensuring low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal integrity.

Advantages

This patch cable offers excellent optical performance with a maximum insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB and high return loss (≥50 dB for SC/UPC, ≥60 dB for SC/APC). The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces, reducing toxic fumes in case of fire. The 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter complies with OS2 singlemode standards, making it suitable for high-speed data applications.

Suitable for

• Data centre connections
• Telecommunications networks
• FTTx (Fibre to the x) deployments
• Enterprise LAN backbone
• Any singlemode fibre optic system requiring SC/UPC to SC/APC connectivity
