LC APC to FC APC Simplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

For site work, correct product selection should be followed by careful transport, connector inspection and retention of the fiber records. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LC APC interface on one end and a FC APC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a complete unit. The single-fiber build suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any connection 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

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Patch cords path through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in this optical assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; thus, a hurried routing decision during a night servicing window does not automatically turn into a measurable penalty on the connection.

Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and every wavelength-multiplexed service. Because the OS2 glass in this optical assembly is the identical group used in the outside plant, the installed jumper does not automatically become the weak point of the optical link budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the connector being used pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

Standard offerings cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), with customized length supplied beyond the list. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the installed connectors.

Every supplied 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 supplied cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result supplied on order.

Refer to this setup by connector pair, fiber mode and length when purchasing a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the specification with the request and the factory will ensure the build before fabrication. The order details should include any site identification needed by the installation team.
