BlueOptics simplex glasvezel-patchkabel SC-APC/SC-APC singlemode 5 meter

The BlueOptics Simplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable SC-APC/SC-APC Singlemode 5 Metres is a high-performance, OS2-rated fibre optic cable designed for reliable, low-loss data transmission in singlemode networks. With SC-APC connectors on both ends, this cable ensures excellent return loss and minimal insertion loss, making it ideal for FTTH, telecommunications, and data centre applications. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed spaces, while the yellow colouring indicates singlemode fibre for easy identification.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity with typical insertion loss below 0.25 dB and return loss greater than 60 dB. The APC polish reduces back reflection, critical for high-bandwidth applications. The 3.0 mm cable diameter provides flexibility without compromising durability, and the LSZH jacket ensures compliance with fire safety standards. Pre-terminated and factory-tested, it saves installation time and guarantees performance.
