GETFORT GF-SUSAS5 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable SC/UPC to SC/APC Simplex 5m LSZH Yellow

Network technicians and data center engineers rely on the GETFORT GF-SUSAS5 when they need a dependable single-mode fiber link between equipment with different SC polish types. This 5-meter simplex patch cord connects an SC/UPC port on one end to an SC/APC port on the other, making it ideal for mixed installations in FTTH, CATV, and enterprise backbone networks where low back reflection is critical.

Why choose it

The SC/APC connector's angled polish significantly reduces back reflections, ensuring stable performance in high-speed and long-distance optical networks. The LSZH jacket adds safety in enclosed spaces by limiting smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire. With premium zirconia ferrules and tight manufacturing tolerances, this patch cord delivers consistent, low-loss connections for years.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting OLTs with SC/UPC ports to ONTs with SC/APC ports in FTTH deployments
• Linking CATV headend equipment and optical nodes
• Patching between different patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Test and measurement setups requiring mixed connector types

Good to know

Each cable is individually tested for insertion loss and return loss to meet industry standards. The yellow LSZH jacket is the standard color for single-mode fiber, making identification easy in dense cable trays. For best performance, avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius and keep connectors capped when not in use.
