Corning LC/APC to LC/APC Single-Mode Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, 15m, White, 2.0mm LSZH F222201J1Z20015M

Single-mode fiber connections often suffer from signal loss and back reflections, degrading network performance in data centers and FTTH deployments. This Corning patch cable solves that with angled physical contact (APC) connectors on both ends, ensuring a return loss greater than 60 dB and insertion loss below 0.3 dB for stable, high-quality optical links.

Who is it for

Network engineers and technicians who need a reliable, pre-terminated simplex fiber link between LC/APC ports in patch panels, ONTs, or optical distribution frames. Ideal for telecommunications rooms, data centers, and fiber-to-the-home installations where low reflectance is critical.

Main features

• LC/APC to LC/APC connectors with 8° angled polish for minimal back reflection
• Single-mode 9/125 µm fiber supports long-distance transmission
• Simplex construction with 2.0 mm white LSZH jacket for tight spaces and safety
• 15-meter length for flexible equipment placement
• Low insertion loss (<0.3 dB) and high return loss (>60 dB) for signal integrity

Tips

Always clean connector end faces before mating to prevent contamination and ensure optimal performance. Avoid bending the cable tighter than the 30 mm minimum bend radius to prevent fiber damage.
