InLine cable de fibra óptica simplex, FTTH, SC/APC8° a SC/APC8°, 9/125 µm OS2, 0,5 m

Fiber optical simplex cable InLine SC/APC to SC/APC OS2 9/125µm 0.5 m is a single-mode patch cable designed for short connections in FTTH and telecom installations. The cable features SC/APC connectors on both ends with an 8° APC polish and uses OS2 9/125 µm single-mode fibre for low-loss transmission. With a 0.5 m length and a compact 3 mm outer diameter, it is suitable for connecting optical transceivers, modems and splice boxes where a reliable, space-saving link is required.

Advantages

The InLine simplex cable provides low insertion loss and high return loss typical of OS2 single-mode ferrules with APC polish, ensuring stable optical performance for voice, data and internet services. Its armoured construction with a stainless steel spiral tube increases mechanical strength and durability compared with thin pre-installed FTTH leads. The halogen-free white jacket is discreet for visible indoor installations while offering temperature resistance for indoor storage and operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting FTTH house entry point to optical modem or ONT
• Patch connections between optical transceivers and network equipment
• Short patch runs in telecom cabinets and splice boxes
• Single-mode laboratory or test setups requiring APC connectors

How to use

Insert the SC/APC connector ends straight into matching SC/APC female ports on the optical modem, transceiver or patch panel until they click into place. Ensure both connector ferrules and device ports are clean before connection to minimise insertion loss and prevent contamination. Avoid tight bends and do not kink the cable; maintain a gentle loop radius during routing. For removal, press the connector latch and pull straight out without twisting.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before every connection, avoid repeated flexing at fixed points, and secure the cable in place to prevent strain. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short indoor links; for longer runs choose longer lengths of the same InLine armoured FTTH series to preserve signal quality.
