EFB Electronics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable LC/APC-SC/APC G.657.A2 10 m 2.0 mm Yellow 9/125 µm

The EFB Electronics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable is a high-performance single-mode patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in indoor fibre optic networks. Featuring LC/APC to SC/APC connectors, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for FTTx, CATV, and telecommunication applications. The bend-insensitive G.657.A2 fibre allows for tight bends without signal degradation, while the LSZH jacket provides safety in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

This patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity with typical insertion loss ≤0.2 dB and return loss ≥60 dB. The 2.0 mm diameter LSZH jacket is halogen-free, reducing toxic smoke in case of fire. The yellow colour enables easy identification for single-mode connections. With a minimum bend radius of only 7.5 mm, installation in tight spaces is simplified.

Suitable for

• Fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) and fibre-to-the-building (FTTB) networks
• Data centres and server rooms
• Telecommunication and CATV systems
• Local area networks (LAN) requiring single-mode fibre
