Why Choose SC/APC to LC/APC Duplex Patch Cables?


✅ High Density: SC connectors are compact, ideal for high-density panels;
✅ Superior Return Loss: APC polish reduces back reflections, critical for RFoG, PON, and analog signals;
✅ Reliable & Durable: 3.0mm jacket provides flexibility and crush resistance;
✅ Plug-and-Play: Pre-terminated, factory-tested for consistent performance.


The 3.0mm SC/APC to LC/APC Duplex Singlemode Patch Cable is an excellent choice for high-performance optical networks requiring low insertion loss, high return loss, and reliable APC connections. It is widely used in FTTH, telecom, and data center environments wherNeed customization (armored, different lengths, or bend-insensitive fiber)? Let me know your requirements!
