InLine kuitu-simplexkaapeli, FTTH, LC/APC8° - SC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 50m

InLine fiber optical simplex cable LC/APC to SC/APC, 9/125 µm OS2, 50 m, designed for FTTH installations and single-mode links. This pre-terminated duplex-style single-fibre assembly features an LC/APC 8° connector on one end and an SC/APC 8° connector on the other, providing low insertion loss and high return loss for broadband, telecom and home fibre connections. The 3.0 mm armoured cable construction with a stainless steel spiral tube increases mechanical durability compared with thin provider-supplied patch cords, while the white LSZH outer jacket allows for unobtrusive indoor routing.

Advantages

The cable combines a single-mode OS2 9/125 µm fibre with APC 8° polished connectors to minimise back-reflection and ensure reliable signal quality for high-speed optical links. Reinforcement with flexible metal tubing and a 3.0 mm diameter sheath improves resistance to bending and accidental damage. Low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket material reduces hazardous emissions in confined spaces and the assembled cable is supplied with a test report verifying typical insertion loss below 0.20 dB and guaranteed insertion loss below 0.30 dB and return loss over 60 dB.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber connections between house entry point and optical modem
• Single-mode patching in broadband and telecom customer premises
• Indoor routing where a discreet, white cable is required
• Installations requiring APC-terminated connectors to reduce reflections

How to use

Route the InLine LC/APC to SC/APC simplex cable from the building’s fibre termination point to the optical modem or wall outlet, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks; respect the cable’s minimum bend radius. Remove protective caps from connectors only immediately before insertion. Insert the LC/APC connector into the modem or adapter and the SC/APC into the matching SC/APC adapter or panel until each connector latches. After installation, verify optical continuity and signal quality with appropriate test equipment using the provided test report data as reference.

Recommendations

For durable performance, avoid repeated flexing at the same point, secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain near connectors, and keep connector end faces clean and covered when not in use. Use APC-to-APC mating adapters and observe recommended bend radii to maintain low loss and high return loss in FTTH installations.
