Cavo in fibra ottica simplex InLine, FTTH, SC/APC8° su SC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 10 m

InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable FTTH SC/APC 8° to SC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 10m is a single‑mode patch cable designed for FTTH connections and short optical links inside homes and small installations. The cable uses SC connectors with APC 8° polish at both ends and OS2 9/125µm fiber to support low‑loss broadband transmission. The white outer sheath and a 3.0 mm armoured construction with stainless steel spiral reinforcement provide a compact, robust link between the house transfer point and the fiber optic modem or ONT.

Advantages

This InLine FTTH simplex cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss typical of APC‑polished connectors, making it suitable for sensitive single‑mode networks. The armoured 3.0 mm outer diameter and stainless steel spiral tube increase mechanical protection compared with very thin provider‑supplied leads, reducing the risk of breakage during installation or everyday use. The halogen‑free jacket and neutral white colour allow discreet placement in living spaces while meeting common safety and emission standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting the home fiber termination point (FTTH outlet) to an optical modem or ONT.
• Patching or linking optical devices requiring SC/APC angled terminations.
• Short indoor fiber runs in apartments, homes or small offices up to 10 m.
• Replacement of fragile provider‑supplied jumper cables with a more robust armoured alternative.

When it may not be suitable

This cable is single‑mode OS2 with SC/APC 8° connectors and is not suitable for multimode networks or for systems requiring different connector types (for example LC, ST or SC/UPC). It is intended for indoor FTTH and short patch runs; it is not a full outdoor exterior cable designed for direct burial or long outdoor spans without additional protection.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single‑mode OS2, 9/125 µm
• Connector type: SC/APC 8° to SC/APC 8°
• Cable length: 10 m
• Outer diameter: approx. 3.0 mm (armoured construction)
• Jacket: halogen‑free white sheath
• Insertion loss (typical): <0.20 dB, guaranteed <0.30 dB
• Return loss: >60 dB (APC polish)
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +85 °C
• Construction: stainless steel spiral tube reinforcement

How to use

Connect one SC/APC connector to the FTTH outlet or wallbox and the other SC/APC connector to the optical modem or ONT. Handle connectors by the ferrule housing and avoid touching the polished end faces; keep protective caps on until final connection. When routing the cable indoors, follow gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks — the 3.0 mm armoured design allows flexible routing but still requires respect for minimum bend radius as specified by the installer. After installation, verify link quality with the installer’s test equipment or use the provided test report if available.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your equipment supports SC/APC connectors and single‑mode OS2 fiber.
• Confirm that a 10 m cable length is sufficient for the intended routing and placement of the modem.
• Choose an armoured indoor cable only if extra mechanical protection is needed; for purely concealed cabling, an unarmoured thin jumper may be acceptable.

Recommendations

Use the InLine FTTH SC/APC 10 m cable for indoor fiber links where reliability and mechanical protection are important. Keep connector end caps on until connection, avoid bending below the recommended radius, and perform an insertion loss check after installation to ensure optimal performance.
