OPTIX Single-Mode 9/125 Simplex Fiber Patch Cord, 3m, SC/APC to SC/APC, 3.0mm LSZH Yellow

For installations where reflection must be kept to an absolute minimum, this OPTIX single-mode simplex patch cord pairs angled SC/APC connectors with a 9/125 µm core to deliver return loss of at least 60 dB. The 3-meter length and 3.0 mm LSZH jacket make it a practical choice for FTTH, CATV, and high-speed backbone links where space is tight but signal integrity cannot be compromised.

Highlights

• Single-mode 9/125 µm fiber with simplex configuration
• SC/APC to SC/APC connectors with angled polish for low back reflection
• 3.0 mm LSZH yellow jacket for low smoke and zero halogen safety
• Typical insertion loss ≤ 0.3 dB, return loss ≥ 60 dB
• Supports 1310 nm and 1550 nm operating wavelengths
• Durable design: >500 mating cycles, bend radius 30 mm installation / 60 mm long-term
• Compliant with IEC 61754-4 and TIA/EIA-604-3A

In daily use

This patch cord is built for dependable point-to-point connections in patch panels, ONTs, and optical distribution frames. The APC polish on both ends reduces reflectance that can destabilize high-power or analog signals, while the LSZH jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces. The 3-meter length offers flexibility without excess slack, and the 3.0 mm diameter balances durability with easy routing.
