InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable, FTTH, SC/APC8° to SC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 1m

InLine Fiber optic simplex patch cable SC/APC to SC/APC 9/125µm OS2 1 m is a single‑mode connection cable designed for FTTH installations and short patching runs. The 9/125 µm OS2 fiber provides low attenuation for long‑distance signal transmission while SC/APC 8° polished connectors on both ends reduce back‑reflection. The cable features a 3.0 mm outer diameter with an armoured stainless steel spiral tube for improved mechanical protection and a white, halogen‑free jacket suitable for discreet indoor routing. A factory test report confirms insertion loss and return loss performance for reliable use in residential and business fibre networks.

Advantages

The armoured structure and 3.0 mm diameter deliver greater mechanical stability compared with very thin pre‑installed patch leads, reducing the risk of breakage during handling and installation. SC/APC 8° polished connectors ensure low insertion loss and high return loss, which is important for sensitive optical equipment and fiber modems. The halogen‑free outer jacket and compliance with relevant IEC standards support safe indoor use and help meet installation requirements. The cable is supplied with a test report documenting optical performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting FTTH house transfer point to fiber‑optic modem or ONT
• Patching between wall outlet and router/modem in residential environments
• Direct device connections in small business fiber installations
• Use with patch panels and short in‑room fiber links

How to use

Unpack the InLine SC/APC to SC/APC patch cable and inspect connectors for protective caps; remove caps before connecting. Align the keyed SC connectors carefully with the adapter or device port and push until a positive click indicates proper seating. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and do not apply tension to the cable; the stainless steel spiral gives protection but standard fiber handling precautions should be observed. For installations within dwellings, route the cable along walls or skirting boards and secure with suitable clips to prevent strain. Return protective caps when storing unused cable.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m InLine SC/APC to SC/APC patch cable for indoor FTTH links where a short, robust single‑mode connection is required. Maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for 3.0 mm armoured fiber cables, avoid sharp bends, and keep connectors clean using lint‑free wipes and appropriate fiber cleaning tools to preserve low insertion loss and high return loss.
