InLine optický simplexný kábel, FTTH, SC/APC8° na SC/APC8° 9/125µm OS2 2m

InLine Fiber Optical Simplex Cable FTTH SC/APC 8°–SC/APC 8° 9/125µm OS2 2 m is a single‑fiber (simplex) patch cable designed for fibre‑to‑the‑home installations and short point‑to‑point links. The cable uses OS2 single‑mode 9/125 µm fibre and angled physical contact (APC) SC/APC connectors with 8° endface polish on both ends to minimise return loss. The 2 m length and white halogen‑free jacket make it suitable for connecting an optical network termination or wall outlet to a home router or modem while remaining unobtrusive in living spaces.

Advantages

The cable features a 3.0 mm ±0.2 mm armoured outer diameter with an internal stainless steel spiral tube that increases mechanical strength and protects the fibre against accidental damage, bending and crushing compared with thin provider‑supplied leads. APC polished connectors and OS2 fibre result in low insertion loss (typical <0.20 dB) and high return loss (>60 dB), supporting reliable signal quality for FTTH networks. The halogen‑free sheath and compliance with relevant IEC standards ensure safe indoor use and long‑term performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting optical network termination (ONT) or wall outlet to an FTTH modem or router
• Short patching runs and point‑to‑point links within private homes and apartments
• Replacing thin or damaged pre‑installed provider cables with a more robust alternative
• Installations where low return loss and stable single‑mode performance are required

How to use

Inspect connectors and ensure connector endfaces are clean before installation. Plug one SC/APC connector into the optical network termination (ONT) or wall outlet and the other into the fibre modem or router input. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and secured; avoid twisting or excessive pulling on the cable. Route the cable gently to avoid tight bends; maintain bend radii recommended for single‑mode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. If the cable requires cleaning, use approved fibre cleaning tools and follow manufacturer guidance for APC connector endfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑term performance, avoid sharp bends and repeated flexing near the connector ends, keep the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges, and use the supplied length or a longer certified patch cable rather than forcing a short cable into a route that causes stress. Periodically inspect connectors and clean them when signal degradation is suspected.
