Lightwave LW-PC-SCA-SCA-DX-SM-5M Fiber Patch Cord
The Lightwave LW-PC-SCA-SCA-DX-SM-5M is a 5-meter duplex single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for high-performance optical networking. It features SC/APC connectors on both ends and OS2 (9/125 µm) single-mode fiber, making it ideal for long-distance, high-bandwidth connections in FTTH, telecommunications, enterprise networks, and data centers. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors minimize back reflection, ensuring excellent signal quality in demanding optical applications.
Benefits
- APC connectors significantly reduce back reflection, making the cable suitable for GPON, FTTH, and other high-speed optical networks.
- OS2 single-mode fiber supports long-distance transmission with minimal signal attenuation.
- Duplex construction enables bidirectional communication over a single cable assembly.
- LSZH jacket enhances safety by reducing smoke and toxic emissions in indoor installations.
- Factory-tested construction ensures dependable, plug-and-play performance for professional networking environments.
