Description
Angled Single Mode Fiber Jumper
The SC APC patch cord links single mode ports across a 5m simplex run. An 8-degree angled ferrule on both ends suppresses back reflection into transmitters. Yellow LSZH jacketing marks the OS2 grade at a glance.
9/125µm G.657.A2 fiber carries 1310nm and 1550nm traffic across the assembly. Each connector holds insertion loss at or below 0.3 dB and return loss at or above 60 dB. The 2.0mm cable diameter suits high-density patch panels and shallow cable managers.
SC push-pull housings latch without a tool and release on the outer shell. Technicians can route the cord through 1U enclosures and FTTx ONT cabinets. Operating range spans -20 to 70°C, and the LSZH sheath limits smoke and halogen output in occupied rooms.
Every assembly is tested against IEC 61300-3-4 for attenuation and IEC 61300-3-6 for reflectance. APC endfaces require clean mating surfaces, so inspect and clean both ferrules before connection. The yellow jacket separates this single mode lead from multimode stock in a mixed rack.
Key Features
Angled Physical Contact Endface
The 8-degree APC polish diverts reflected light away from the transmitter core.Simplex OS2 Construction
One 9/125µm G.657.A2 fiber runs the full 5m length with a 2.0mm outer diameter.Optical Test Data
- Insertion loss maximum 0.3 dB per mated pair
- Return loss minimum 60 dB at 1310nm and 1550nm
- Verified to IEC 61300-3-4 and IEC 61300-3-6 methods
Push-Pull SC Housing
The outer shell releases the latch, which protects the ferrule during dense panel work.LSZH Jacket
Low smoke zero halogen compound meets IEC 60332-1-2 flame propagation requirements.Bend-Tolerant Fiber
G.657.A2 core geometry tolerates tighter routing radii than standard G.652.D fiber.

Why Choose This Singlemode Lead
The angled endface geometry protects GPON and XGS-PON receivers from reflected energy.
Tested attenuation figures let engineers budget link loss before commissioning.
Bend-tolerant fiber survives tight cabinet routing without added loss.
LSZH compound suits indoor risers, comms rooms and customer premises installations.
Push-pull latching reduces ferrule damage during moves and changes on loaded panels.
