Product Description

5m Single-Mode Simplex SC/APC to SC/APC OS2 G657A1 Fibre Optic LSZH Cable (3000µm)

This high-quality fibre optic cable is designed to deliver exceptional performance and reliability for your networking needs.

The cable feature an SC/APC connector on both ends, ensuring precise and secure connections. It has a bend radius of 10mm, offering flexibility that makes it easier to connect devices. It supports single-mode transmission, allowing for long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss.

The OS2 fibre optic cable meets industry standards, guaranteeing optimal performance and compatibility. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides added safety by minimising toxic emissions in case of fire.

With durable construction and superior signal transmission capabilities, this fibre optic cable is the perfect solution for telecommunications, data centres, and other applications requiring reliable and high-speed connectivity.

Upgrade your network infrastructure with our fibre optic cables and experience seamless connectivity like never before.

Serves as the patch lead used in a BT ONT fibre extender kit when moving the ONT.

Advantages of Fibre Optics:

Significantly higher bandwidth compared to traditional copper cables. This increased bandwidth allows for the transmission of large amounts of data at incredibly fast speeds, enabling seamless streaming, rapid file transfers, and real-time communication.
Transmit data over much longer distances without suffering from signal degradation. Unlike copper cables, which experience signal loss over longer runs, fibre optics maintain the integrity of the signal over vast distances.
Immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring a stable and reliable connection even in environments with high levels of electrical noise.
Lightweight, flexible, and occupying less physical space, making them easier to install and handle.
Enhanced security as they are extremely difficult to tap into without detection, making them ideal for transmitting sensitive and confidential information.

Overall, fibre optic cables offer superior performance, reliability, scalability, and security, making them the preferred choice for high-speed, long-distance data transmission in telecommunications, networking, and various industries.

Applications:

CATV distribution and DOSIS data transmission
SAT-IF and DTT distribution
Other fibre optic communication systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable support high-bandwidth applications, and what are its limitations?

Yes, this cable is specifically engineered for high-bandwidth applications, supporting long-distance transmission with minimal signal attenuation, making it ideal for internet service providers, telecommunications, and data centers. Its single mode fibre offers superior performance for broadband, voice, and video applications over significant distances. However, it&#039;s optimized for applications where direct and uninterrupted paths are available, as connectors or splices can introduce losses.

Is the LSZH jacket material of this cable environmentally friendly, and what safety features does it offer?

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material is not only environmentally friendly but also prioritizes safety. In the event of a fire, it emits minimal smoke and no halogen, reducing the risk of harm to individuals and sensitive equipment. This feature makes the cable particularly suitable for indoor environments where v

How does the SC/APC connector benefit my network's performance?

The SC/APC (Subscriber Connector/Angled Physical Contact) connectors on this cable are designed to significantly reduce back reflection, which can degrade network performance. The angled polish of the connectors ensures a more direct light path, minimizing insertion loss and improving signal quality. This is particularly beneficial for precision-demanding applications, such as high-definition video streaming and sensitive data communications, ensuring a stable and high-quality connection.
