DIGITUS Fiber optic steel-armored patch cable - simplex singlemode LC/APC - LC/APC - 20m

The Digitus Fiber optic steel-armored patch cable LC/APC - LC/APC 20 m singlemode is a singlemode armored fiber designed for durable, low-loss signal transmission in demanding environments. With LC/APC connectors on both ends, a 9 µm core and compliance with G.657.A2, this 20 m cable offers enhanced mechanical protection while remaining sufficiently flexible for installation in tight spaces. It is suitable for FTTH, industrial and enterprise networks where both protection and performance are required.

Advantages

The steel-armored construction provides improved mechanical strength and resistance to crushing, bending and rodent damage while maintaining low signal attenuation. Compact and flexible design simplifies routing and installation in confined or harsh environments. LC/APC connectors ensure reliable optical coupling for singlemode applications and the cable meets G.657.A2 specifications for bend-insensitive singlemode fiber.

Suitable for

• FTTH installations
• Outdoor and industrial environments
• Enterprise backbone and data center connections
• Environments requiring rodent or crush protection

How to use

Route the armored patch cable along the planned path, avoiding sharp edges and excessive tensile force. Connect LC/APC connectors to compatible LC/APC ports on transceivers, patch panels or devices, ensuring connectors are clean before mating to prevent contamination-related loss. Secure and protect cable bends according to recommended bend radius for G.657.A2 fiber and use appropriate strain relief at termination points.

Recommendations

Use the steel-armored cable where increased mechanical protection is required; perform connector cleaning before installation and avoid exceeding the specified bend radius to preserve signal quality and extend service life.
