Overview


Description

This 1-meter (3.28 feet) SC/UPC to SC/APC single-mode duplex fiber optic cable is engineered for high-performance fiber optic connections. Featuring an SC connector with UPC polish on one end and an SC connector with APC polish on the other, it minimizes signal reflection and ensures reliable transmission. The cable uses 9/125µm single-mode fiber, often G.657.A2 grade, which is bend-insensitive for flexible installation. Its LSZH armored jacket offers fire resistance and rodent protection. With low insertion loss (≤0.15dB) and high return loss (≥55dB), it supports fast Ethernet, Fiber Channel, and CATV applications while complying with RoHS standards.

Specifications

Specifications:
SC/UPC: One end is terminated with an SC connector with a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish. UPC connectors have a flat end-face with a slightly convex shape.
SC/APC: The other end is terminated with an SC connector with an APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish. APC connectors have an 8° angled end face to reduce signal reflection.
Single Mode (SM) 9/125µm: This refers to the fiber core and cladding diameters. It is designed for high-speed, long-distance data transmission.
Fiber Grade: Often G.657.A2 (compatible with G.652.D), indicating a bend-insensitive fiber. This allows for smaller bend radii without significant signal loss.
Jacket Material: Low-Smoke, Zero Halogen (LSZH) armored jacket. This provides protection against fire and rodents.
Working Wavelength: Typically 1310nm to 1550nm.
Insertion Loss: ≤0.15dB (typical). Insertion loss is the reduction in signal strength as it passes through the connection.
Return Loss: ≥55dB (typically for the SC/APC end). Return loss is the amount of light reflected back from the connection. APC connectors generally have higher return loss (lower reflection) than UPC connectors.
Designed for: Fast Ethernet, Fiber Channel, optical fiber LANs, communication systems, instruments, and CATV applications.
Durability: Resistant to electrical interference, pressure, and wear.
Compliance: RoHS Compliant.
Bend Radius: 7.5mm (fiber core), 10/5D (Dynamic/Static - Fiber Cable).
