Cable Specifications:
✔ Fiber Type: Single-mode (OS1/OS2);
✔ Optimized for 1310nm & 1550nm wavelengths;
✔ Low attenuation (~0.4 dB/km), ideal for long-haul transmission.
Connectors:
✔ SC/APC (Green boot, Angled Polish, 8°);
✔ Low back-reflection, used in GPON, FTTH, and CATV;
✔ LC/APC (Green boot, Angled Polish, 8°);
✔ Compact design, high-density applications (e.g., data centers, OLT/ONT devices).
Simplex (Single Fiber):
✔ One fiber (unlike duplex), typically used for unidirectional links or paired for bidirectional use;
✔ Cable Diameter: 3.0mm;
✔ Balances flexibility and durability (thicker than 2.0mm/900µm but easier to handle than armored cables).
Why Choose This Cable?
✔ APC-to-APC Compatibility: Ensures low back-reflection in sensitive optics;
✔ Hybrid Connectors: Bridges SC (common in telecom) and LC (common in high-density setups);
✔ 3.0mm Jacket: More crush-resistant than thinner cables, yet flexible for routing.
Alternatives & Considerations
✔ For Duplex Needs: Use a duplex SC/APC - LC/APC cable (two fibers for Tx/Rx);
✔ For UPC Systems: If APC isn’t required, SC/UPC - LC/UPC (blue connectors) may suffice;
✔ Length Options: Typically 1m to 30m (custom lengths available).
Performance Metrics
✔ Insertion Loss: <0.3 dB (typical);
✔ Return Loss: >55 dB (APC polish ensures minimal reflections);✔ Tensile Strength: ≥100N (3.0mm jacket provides robust protection).
✔ FTTH/GPON Networks (SC/APC connects to OLT, LC/APC to ONT);
✔ 5G Front-haul/Backhaul (low-reflection links for RF signals);
✔ Data Center Interconnects (LC/APC for high-density switches);
✔ CATV & RF Video Systems (APC polish minimizes signal distortion).
