Fiber Optic Patch Cable, SC/APC to SC/APC, Single Mode 9/125, Duplex (1 Meter)

Description SC/APC to SC/APC Fiber Patch Cable with Single Mode 9/125 Duplex Cables These high-speed single mode 9/125µm duplex fiber optic patch cables are terminated with SC/APC fiber optic connectors on both ends (SC/APC-SC/APC). Referred to as Subscriber Connectors, Square Connectors, or Standard Connectors, these push-pull connectors are the most common choice for FTTH (fiber to the home) applications in use for Datacom and Telcom; most GBIC modules also require this connector type. Features Features High Speed, Single Mode Duplex Fiber Push-pull Connectors for Easy Installation APC Polish Type to Maximize Signal Transmission UL Listed in Canada and the US; RoHS Compliant Available in Custom Lengths and Colors Specifications Specifications Spec Sheet Additional Information Additional Information Cleaning your fiber connector end faces and components regularly is crucial for avoiding a total network failure. Ensure your optical fiber system is working properly and prevent major network issues with fiber cleaning kits, pens, fluids, and wipes. Your patch cable selection is important to the type of fiber optic network you are working on. Some are ideal for single mode, while others might be the right for a Multimode installation. Another factor to consider is polish type when using single-mode cables. Connector Type Abbreviations: SC - a snap-in style connector. Known for its excellent performance. Referred to as Subscriber Connectors, Square Connectors, or Standard Connectors. ST - a very popular choice connector for Multimode networks. Also referred to as Straight Tip connectors, they utilize a bayonet-style coupling type, enabling a simple twist-on and twist-off installation. FC - was at one time the most popular single-mode connector type, but is now typically being replaced by SC and LC connectors. Also known as Ferrule Connectors, they utilize a screw-on coupling type to be used in high-vibration environments and are commonly used for datacom, telecom, measurement equipment, and single-mode lasers. LC - a small form factor connector—measuring half the size of an SC connector. This is a popular choice for single-mode cables. Also referred to as Lucent Connectors, Little Connectors, or Local Connectors, these snap-in connectors are typically used for high-density connections and are compatible with plug-and-play devices such as SFP modules and XFP transceivers. Polish Type Abbreviations: Note: The polish type affects the amount of back reflection, also known as reflectance. PC - Physical Contact. Polished to create a slight dome at the end of the ferrule that helps to maximize the signal being transmitted. UPC - Ultra Physical Contact. More extensive polishing than the PC type, a greater dome shape is created that further helps to maximize the signal being transmitted. APC - Angled Physical Contact. Polished at an angle rather than a dome shape. This is the most efficient polish type.
