InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable FTTH SC/APC 8° to SC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 30 m

InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable FTTH SC/APC 8° to SC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 30 m is a single‑mode simplex patch cable designed for fiber‑to‑the‑home (FTTH) connections, indoor/outdoor patching and direct linking between a home fibre entry point and an optical modem. The cable uses OS2 9/125µm single‑mode fibre and SC/APC 8° angled polished connectors on both ends, delivered in a 30 m length with a white outer sheath for unobtrusive installation.

Advantages

The cable combines a slim 3.0 mm outer diameter with an armoured stainless steel spiral reinforcement that increases mechanical robustness compared with very thin provider‑supplied leads. The halogen‑free jacket and compliance with common industry standards ensure safe use in residential environments. Low insertion loss and high return loss from the APC polished connectors provide reliable single‑mode transmission suitable for high‑speed FTTH links. A factory test report documents optical performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting a home fibre entry point (optical network terminal) to a fibre modem or router
• Indoor and sheltered outdoor patching where a durable, flexible simplex cable is required
• FTTH installations requiring APC angled connectors for reduced back‑reflection
• Situations where a discreet white cable is preferred for visible routing

• Return loss: >60 dB
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +85 °C
• Mechanical reinforcement: stainless steel spiral tube

How to use

Route the 30 m simplex cable between the fibre entry point and the optical modem or router, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to protect the fibre. Insert SC/APC connectors into compatible SC/APC ports, ensuring the angled key aligns correctly and connectors are fully seated. If required, secure the cable along walls or skirting using appropriate clips that do not compress the cable. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified by the installer or manufacturer; handle connectors by the housing and keep end faces clean using fibre‑safe cleaning tools before insertion.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your equipment uses SC/APC angled connectors and single‑mode OS2 (9/125µm) fibre
• Decide if a simplex (single fibre) cable meets your duplex or network architecture needs
• Ensure the 30 m length is sufficient for routing between the entry point and modem without excessive slack
• Check environmental exposure; cable is suited for indoor and sheltered outdoor use but may need additional protection for fully exposed installations

Recommendations

For reliable FTTH performance, clean SC/APC connector end faces before installation, avoid tight bends and secure the cable with non‑crimping clips. Use the included test report to verify insertion and return loss after installation and keep spare slack for future repositioning of the modem.
