Cavo in fibra ottica simplex InLine FTTH LC/APC 8° a SC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 5 m

InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable FTTH LC/APC 8° to SC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 5 m is a single-mode fiber patch cable designed for FTTH and indoor telecom installations. The cable uses OS2 9/125 µm fiber and features an LC/APC 8° connector on one end and an SC/APC 8° connector on the other. With a 3.0 mm armoured jacket and stainless-steel spiral reinforcement, the cable is intended to provide a low-loss, mechanically robust connection between the house transfer point and a fiber optic modem or telecom equipment.

Advantages

The armoured 3.0 mm outer sheath offers increased mechanical protection compared with very thin pre-installed FTTH leads, reducing the risk of damage during installation and everyday use. APC 8° polished connectors deliver improved return loss for optical links that require low back-reflection, while the OS2 single-mode fiber ensures compatibility with long-distance and high-speed equipment. The cable is halogen-free, tested and delivered with a test report to confirm insertion loss and return loss performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting FTTH house entry point to a fiber modem or ONT
• Interconnecting telecom or network equipment that requires APC-angled connectors
• Indoor installations where a mechanically robust, thin-profile armored cable is preferred
• Replacement of low-quality preinstalled subscriber leads

How to use

Connect the LC/APC 8° end to the LC port of your fiber modem, ONT or adapter and plug the SC/APC 8° end into the SC/APC port at the house entry point or patch panel. Handle connectors by the boot and avoid touching the polished end-face; keep protective caps on until final connection. Ensure routing avoids sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for single-mode fiber to prevent increased loss. Verify link performance with appropriate optical test equipment if required.

Recommendations

For reliable FTTH performance, use this InLine 5 m LC/APC to SC/APC cable where APC connectors are specified. Store and install in dry environments, avoid tight bends and crushing forces, and keep connector end-faces clean using suitable fiber cleaning tools to maintain low insertion loss and high return loss.
