Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών simplex InLine, FTTH, LC/APC8° σε SC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 20m

Fiber optical simplex cable InLine LC/APC8° to SC/APC8° OS2 9/125µm FTTH 20m is a 20-metre single-mode fiber patch cable designed for FTTH installations and point-to-point connections. It uses OS2 9/125 µm fiber and carries an LC/APC 8° connector on one end and an SC/APC 8° connector on the other. The cable has a slim white LSZH jacket and an armoured core with a stainless steel spiral tube for improved mechanical protection. It is intended for indoor and sheltered outdoor routing to connect the building transfer point to the fiber modem or to extend existing fiber links in broadband and telecom networks.

Advantages

The InLine FTTH cable combines a 3.0 mm outer diameter with a reinforced metal tubing around the fiber, providing greater robustness than thin installer-supplied leads. Its low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire and the white sheath supports discreet installation in living areas. APC 8° polished connectors offer low back reflection and stable insertion loss values, and each cable is supplied with a test report confirming typical insertion loss and return loss performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting a fiber network termination point to an optical modem or ONT in a home or office
• Patching or extending single-mode fiber links in FTTH and broadband deployments
• Point-to-point indoor fiber runs where mechanical protection and low back reflection are required

How to use

Route the cable from the fiber termination point to the optical modem or ONT, avoiding sharp bends and tight radii; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to protect the fiber. Clean connector endfaces before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to ensure low insertion loss and reliable signal transmission. Insert the LC connector into the modem’s LC port and the SC connector into the corresponding SC/APC receptacle or adapter, ensuring proper orientation for APC angled interfaces. Secure the cable along its run to prevent strain on the connectors and avoid crushing or kinking the armoured sheath.

Recommendations

For best results, store and install the cable within the specified temperature range and use dust caps on connectors when not connected. Periodically inspect connector endfaces and clean as needed; when routing outdoors or in exposed locations use additional conduit or trunking for UV and mechanical protection despite the reinforced core.
