Item Details: SC/APC - SC/APC Simplex Singlemode G.657B3 BIF-5mm Fiber Patchcord PVC (OFNR) 3.0mm-White Color Jacket
This SC/APC to SC/APC optical simplex fiber patchcord with Singlemode fiber G.657.B3 (EZ-Bend alternative) especially suitable for FTTH applications.
An optical fiber patchcord (jumper cable or fiber patch cable) is a standard or custom-made connecting optical cable, terminated on both sides with optical connectors. Patchcords are used to connect devices inside the cabinet, or to connect active elements to an optical path terminated in the cabinet. Patchcords are usually duplex (2x fiber, 4x connector), simplex cables (1x fiber, 2x connector) can also be supplied on request for single-fiber xWDM applications.
The E2000, SC and LC connectors are then connected in the duplex version by a clip - it is detachable and thus allows the duplex patchcord to be split into two simplex ones. The mentioned patchcords are only a narrow selection from the assortment. We are also able to supply patch cords with E2000, ST, SC, LC, FC, MTRJ, VF-45 connectors.
