Lightwave SC/APC Duplex Patch Cable
The Lightwave Fiber Patch Cord functions as a high-performance interconnect for telecommunications, data centers, and high-speed enterprise networks. This optical jumper utilizes Single Mode OS2 fiber to ensure minimal signal attenuation over significant distances. By incorporating SC/APC connectors on both ends, the assembly achieves superior return loss performance compared to standard physical contact polishes. The duplex architecture supports bidirectional data streams across two dedicated fibers. Furthermore, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures compliance with strict fire safety regulations in enclosed environments. This cable provides the reliability required for backbone installations and server room patching.
Key Features
-
SC/APC Angled Physical Contact
The 8-degree angled polish on the ceramic ferrules reduces back reflection to improve overall network stability and signal quality. -
LSZH Rated Outer Jacket
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen construction limits the emission of corrosive gases and smoke during combustion in poorly ventilated areas. -
OS2 Single Mode Performance
- 9/125 micron core and cladding diameter for high bandwidth
- Optimized for 1310nm and 1550nm wavelength transmissions

Why Choose This Optical Jumper
-
Enhanced signal integrity is maintained through precision-engineered ceramic ferrules that ensure exact core alignment during mating.
-
The zip-cord duplex design allows for easy separation of the fibers if individual routing is required at the termination point.
-
Each unit undergoes rigorous factory testing for insertion loss and return loss to meet international TIA/EIA standards.
-
The green-coded connectors provide immediate visual identification of the APC polish type, preventing accidental cross-mating with UPC components.
