OpticTap SC/APC-SC/APC Singlemode Duplex 3.0mm G657A1 Patch Cord
OpticTap SC/APC-SC/APC singlemode duplex 3.0mm G657A1 patch cord for outdoor FTTH and optical access deployments. Designed for low insertion loss, high return loss, waterproof connector protection and flexible customer-specified lengths or jacket options.
Description
Product Overview
The OpticTap SC/APC-SC/APC singlemode duplex 3.0mm G657A1 patch cord is designed for fast optical connection in FTTH access, outdoor distribution and optical network deployment projects. It combines a hardened waterproof connector on one end with a standard SC/APC connector on the other end, helping installers reduce field splicing work and improve installation efficiency.
The cable assembly supports stable optical performance with low insertion loss and high return loss. Cable length, jacket material, fiber type, cable colour and printing can be specified according to project requirements.
Key Features
- Low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable optical transmission.
- Excellent connector end-face geometry for stable mating performance.
- SC/APC connector interface with singlemode G657A1 or G652 fiber options.
- 3.0mm × 2 duplex cable structure for FTTH and access-network cabling.
- PVC or LSZH jacket options; yellow or white cable colour available.
- Customer-specified cable length, marking and special configuration available on request.
Applications
- FTTH access network deployment
- Data transmission networks
- Image transmission networks
- CATV networks
- Optical test instruments
- Photoelectric automatic control systems
