MCL Samar SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Single-Mode Optical Fiber Patch Cable (OS2, LSZH)

The MCL Samar SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Single-Mode Optical Fiber Patch Cable is a high-performance interconnect solution designed for FTTH, LAN, data center, and telecommunication networks. Engineered with precision zirconia ceramic ferrules and an APC polish, this cable ensures low insertion loss and high return loss, making it ideal for demanding single-mode applications.

Advantages

This fiber optic patch cable offers exceptional signal integrity with typical insertion loss ≤0.3 dB and return loss ≥60 dB. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces, while the 3.0 mm diameter ensures flexibility and easy handling. With support for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, it is compatible with standard single-mode equipment.

Suitable for

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) installations
• Local Area Networks (LAN)
