InLine kuitu-simplexkaapeli, FTTH, LC/APC8° - SC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 3m

InLine single‑mode simplex fiber optic cable with LC/APC (8°) on one end and SC/APC (8°) on the other provides a 3 m connection for FTTH and indoor fiber terminations. The cable uses OS2 9/125 µm fiber and a 3.0 mm halogen‑free sheath with an internal stainless steel spiral tube for reinforcement. Designed for low‑loss, angled physical contact connections, this patch cable ensures stable signal transfer between customer premises equipment and distribution panels where APC connectors are required.

Advantages

The armoured construction with a stainless steel spiral increases mechanical robustness compared with thin provider‑supplied leads, while the 3.0 mm outer diameter balances flexibility and durability for indoor routing. APC (8°) polished LC and SC connectors reduce back reflection (high return loss) and help maintain signal integrity in single‑mode applications. The white, neutral sheath supports unobtrusive installation in living areas and the cable is supplied with a test report confirming insertion loss and return loss performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting an optical network termination (ONT) or fiber modem to internal fiber outlets
• FTTH home installations where angled APC connectors are required
• Indoor patching between distribution panels and customer equipment
• Replacement of thin or unarmoured pre‑installed subscriber cable

How to use

Route the 3 m InLine LC/APC to SC/APC patch cable between the fiber outlet or ONT and your fiber modem or distribution panel. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating; use a fiber cleaning tool or lint‑free wipe and appropriate cleaning solution if necessary. Insert the LC/APC connector into the device or adapter keyed for LC, and the SC/APC connector into the corresponding SC/APC receptacle until secure. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for single‑mode armoured cables.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep APC connector endfaces clean and store unused connectors with dust caps. When replacing provider‑supplied thin cables, choose the 3.0 mm armoured InLine cable to improve mechanical protection. If measuring link performance, verify insertion loss and return loss with a certified test report or optical tester after installation.
