InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable, FTTH, LC/APC8° to LC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 15m

InLine Fiber optic simplex cable LC/APC to LC/APC OS2 9/125µm, 15 m is a singlemode patch cable with APC 8° polished LC connectors on both ends. Designed for FTTH and network backbone connections, this cable provides a single-fiber, low-loss link for long-distance transmission. The cable uses OS2 9/125µm fibre and a 3.0 mm (±0.2 mm) armoured jacket with a stainless steel spiral tube for reinforced mechanical protection. The neutral white sheath is suitable for visible indoor installation.

Advantages

The armoured construction with a flexible metal tubing core increases resistance to crushing and bending compared with thin provider-supplied leads. APC polished LC connectors deliver high return loss and stable optical performance, with typical insertion loss below 0.20 dB and guaranteed insertion loss under 0.30 dB. Halogen-free outer jacket and wide operating and storage temperature range (-40 to +85 °C) make the cable suitable for residential and technical environments. A test report accompanies the cable to verify optical parameters.

Suitable for

• FTTH installations connecting the house transfer point to the optical modem
• Network backbone links and single-fibre point-to-point connections
• Indoor visible installations where a neutral white cable is preferred
• Environments requiring APC terminations and low reflectance (telecom and ISP equipment)

How to use

Connect one LC/APC plug to the fibre port of your optical network terminal or modem and the other LC/APC plug to the wall outlet or fibre distribution point. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating; use a fibre inspection pen or lint-free wipes and approved cleaning fluid if needed. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight clips or pinch points; follow minimum bend radius recommendations for 9/125 µm singlemode fibre. If routing through conduit or trunking, verify that the armoured cable fits the chosen pathway and secure it at intervals to avoid strain on the connectors.

Always store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect connector end-faces with dust caps when not connected, and avoid repeated mating cycles beyond the connectors' specified lifecycle. For installations requiring outdoor exposure or direct burial, select a cable specified for that use; this armoured 3 mm indoor cable is intended primarily for internal FTTH and backbone connections.
