FOBER Fiber Optic Patch Cord (SC/APC) – 5 Meter
The FOBER Fiber Optic Patch Cord (SC/APC) – 5 Meter is a high-performance, low-loss fiber jumper cable designed for reliable and efficient signal transmission in modern optical networks. Engineered with precision and built to last, this single-mode fiber optic patch cord is ideal for applications in FTTH (Fiber to the Home), CATV networks, data centers, telecom networks, and enterprise LAN systems.
With high-grade SC/APC connectors at both ends and a 5-meter length, this patch cord offers the flexibility, performance, and durability needed for today’s high-speed fiber optic installations.
Precision-Engineered SC/APC Connectors
This patch cord is equipped with SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on both ends, ensuring exceptionally low return loss and excellent signal integrity. The angled 8-degree polish on the SC/APC connectors minimizes back reflection, making this patch cord especially suited for high-speed, high-performance optical transmissions — particularly where signal quality is crucial, such as in GPON, EPON, and other broadband services.
The push-pull design of SC connectors allows for quick and secure connections, making them highly suitable for high-density patch panels and distribution frames.
5-Meter Optimal Length for Versatile Deployments
With a 5-meter cable length, the FOBER patch cord provides the ideal balance between reach and manageability. It is long enough for interconnecting devices across racks, enclosures, and cabinets, but compact enough to avoid clutter and signal loss due to excessive cable length. This makes it highly effective in both indoor environments and controlled outdoor enclosures.
Superior Build Quality for Long-Term Reliability
Crafted using high-quality single-mode G652D or G657A fiber, the FOBER patch cord delivers low insertion loss and excellent optical performance over extended distances. The outer sheath is made from LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, offering enhanced fire resistance and safety in sensitive areas like data centers and telecom rooms.
The ruggedized jacket also offers bend resistance and mechanical durability, protecting the fiber from accidental damage during installation or maintenance.
