FC APC to FC APC Simplex OS2, 2.0mm, ofnr Fiber Patch Cable

Keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site pays off at acceptance time. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a FC APC interface on one end and a FC APC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a complete item. The single-fiber design suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any optical path that carries traffic over one strand.

Product Highlights

• G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius
• Precision Zirconia Ferrule Connectors Ensure Low Loss
• Flame-Retardant Riser (OFNR) for Vertical and Floor-to-Floor Installations
• Color-Coded Cable Jacket for Easy Identification
• Ideal for Unidirectional Data Transmission

The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and may damage the ferrules; as a result, the patch side must align with the fiber panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the connector interface housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Patch leads channel through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in this factory-built assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; as a result, a hurried routing decision during a night service work window is not intended to turn into a measurable penalty on the optical path.

Standard size options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), with customized length provided beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the mating connectors.

Each completed assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The fiber cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result provided on order.

Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when submitting a request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will validate the build before release to production. Customers can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
