LANBERG Fiber Optic Patchcord SM SC/APC-SC/APC Simplex 2.5m LSZH G.657.A2 3.0mm White

Single-mode fiber optic patch cord with SC/APC connectors on both ends, delivering low insertion loss and high return loss for stable optical transmission. The 2.5-meter simplex cable features a bend-insensitive G.657.A2 fiber and a white LSZH jacket, making it ideal for FTTH, CATV, and data center applications where space is limited and safety is paramount.

Advantages

The angled physical contact (APC) polish minimizes back reflections, ensuring a return loss of ≥60 dB, which is critical for high-speed digital and analog video systems. The G.657.A2 fiber allows tight bending with a minimum bend radius of just 7.5 mm, enabling installation in cramped enclosures without signal degradation. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in populated areas.

Suitable for

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks
