LC APC to FC APC Simplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. 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 item. The single-fiber design suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any optical path that carries traffic over one strand.

Specifications

Bend tolerance in real cabinets

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.

Where single-mode jumpers earn their place

Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and every wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in this factory-built assembly is the equivalent section used in the outside plant; as a result, this patch cord is not intended to become the weak point of the power budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the connector interface pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

Length Options

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.

Quality Control and Testing

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.

Ordering and Factory Support

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 in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
