InLine kuitu-simplexkaapeli, FTTH, LC/APC8° - LC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 10m

InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable FTTH LC/APC 8°–LC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 10m is a single-mode patch cable designed for FTTH installations and home fiber connections. It features LC/APC 8° connectors on both ends and OS2 9/125µm fiber for low-loss optical transmission. The cable’s 3.0 mm armoured outer jacket and stainless-steel spiral reinforcement provide mechanical protection and flexibility for routing between the house transfer point, network cabinet and optical modem.

Advantages

The cable provides stable single-mode performance with low insertion loss and high return loss, suitable for broadband FTTH links. Its halogen-free outer jacket and reinforced metal tubing increase durability compared with thin, unarmoured provider-supplied leads. The neutral white sheath blends into living areas while the length of 10 m allows flexible placement of the fiber modem or terminal. A factory test report documents measured optical performance.

Suitable for

• Patching between FTTH demarcation point and optical modem or ONT in homes
• Connecting optical network equipment in small network cabinets or telecom points
• Indoor routing where mechanical protection and a discreet white sheath are required

• Polish type: APC (angled physical contact)

How to use

Connect one LC/APC connector to the FTTH demarcation point or wall outlet and the other LC/APC connector to the optical modem/ONT or suitable patch panel. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to avoid signal loss; use a dry lint-free wipe or fiber cleaning tool. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and protect it from heavy compression or abrasion; the 3 mm armoured jacket and metal spiral provide mechanical protection but do not eliminate the need for careful handling. If using installation clips or conduits, verify the internal radius respects single-mode fiber bend limits.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, store and handle the cable in a clean environment, inspect and clean connectors before connection, avoid tight bends and excessive tensile force, and keep the white sheath away from heat sources. Use the included test report to verify insertion and return loss after installation when integrating into a service provider or home network setup.
