BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC/SC-APC Singlemode 5 Metres

The BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-UPC/SC-APC Singlemode 5 Metres is a high-performance fibre optic cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. Featuring a simplex design with SC/UPC to SC/APC connectors, 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 typical insertion loss ≤0.3 dB and return loss ≥50 dB (SC/UPC) and ≥60 dB (SC/APC). The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides safety in enclosed spaces, while the yellow colour ensures easy identification for singlemode fibre. The 2.0 mm cable diameter and minimum bend radius of 20 mm allow for flexible installation without compromising performance.
