OPTIX Single-Mode Duplex Fiber Patch Cord SC/APC to SC/APC 1m LSZH Yellow

For installations where signal purity and mechanical precision cannot be compromised, this OPTIX single-mode duplex patch cord delivers a stable 9/125 µm link with angled SC/APC connectors on both ends. Unlike generic jumpers that rely on flat PC polishing, the 8° APC finish keeps return loss at 60 dB or better, making it the right choice for FTTx, CATV, and long-haul telecom segments where back reflections must stay out of the equation.

Highlights

• Duplex single-mode 9/125 µm construction with G.652D fiber for low attenuation at 1310 nm and 1550 nm.
• SC/APC to SC/APC connectors with angled physical contact polish for high return loss and stable mating.
• LSZH yellow jacket, 3.0 mm diameter, halogen-free and flame-retardant for indoor riser and plenum spaces.
• 1-meter length, ideal for patching between ODFs, media converters, and optical distribution frames.
• Typical insertion loss ≤ 0.3 dB, return loss ≥ 60 dB, compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3, RoHS, and CE.

In daily use

This patch cord is built for repeatable performance in high-density fiber panels and wall outlets. The duplex zip-cord design keeps transmit and receive fibers paired, while the LSZH jacket produces minimal smoke and toxic fumes in the event of fire, supporting safer building codes. The yellow jacket is instantly recognizable as single-mode, reducing the risk of accidental mixing with multimode links. A tight bend radius of 10D dynamic and 5D static allows routing in cramped enclosures without microbending losses.
