InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable, FTTH, LC/APC8° to LC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 30m

InLine Fiber optical simplex cable FTTH LC/APC 8°–LC/APC 8° OS2 9/125µm 30 m is a single‑mode patch cable designed for fiber‑to‑the‑home (FTTH) installations. The cable features LC/APC 8° connectors on both ends and OS2 9/125µm fiber to provide low attenuation and stable long‑distance single‑mode transmission. The 3.0 mm armoured jacket with a stainless steel spiral tube offers mechanical protection and a halogen‑free outer sheath in white for discreet indoor routing between the home termination point and optical network equipment.

Advantages

The armoured 3.0 mm construction increases durability compared with very thin pre‑installed provider cables and reduces the risk of breakage during installation or relocation. OS2 single‑mode fiber with APC 8° polished connectors ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable signal quality. The cable is halogen‑free and rated for a wide temperature range, and it is delivered with a test report confirming typical insertion loss values.

Suitable for

• Connecting ONT or fiber modem to the home fiber outlet
• Patching between media converters and patch panels in small offices or apartments
• FTTH installations where a durable, thin but armoured jumper is required
• Indoor routing in visible living areas where a white sheath is preferred

How to use

Route the cable from the fiber outlet or house transfer point to the optical network terminal (ONT), media converter or patch panel, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. Insert the LC connectors into compatible LC/APC ports ensuring the angled polish faces align correctly for APC interfaces. Secure any excess length with gentle loops and avoid crushing the armoured tube; do not exceed the recommended minimum bend radius. The cable is ready for use immediately and arrives with test results verifying insertion loss values.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑term performance, avoid repeated flexing at the same point and keep the cable protected from mechanical impact. When installing in visible areas, use the white sheath to match interior colors; if running through conduits, verify the conduit diameter can accommodate the 3.0 mm armoured cable. Follow standard fiber handling and cleaning procedures for LC/APC connectors before connection.
