LC APC to LC APC Armored Pre-Connectorized Fiber Patch Cable – Pullable Bullet Type

APPLICATIONS

  • FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) Projects: Ideal for connecting FAP boxes, FTB, FDB, faceplates, and ONU/ONT.
  • Indoor Fiber Optic Networks: Last-mile connectivity to housing rooms in residential setups.
  • High-Density Installations: Supports threading through pipes with inner diameters >6mm for efficient cable management.

DESCRIPTION

The Pullable PRE-Connectorized Bullet LC/APC to LC/APC Armored Fiber Optic Patch Cord is engineered for secure and efficient last-mile connectivity in FTTH projects. Featuring a compact bullet LC connector and 3.0mm simplex armored cable, this assembly is designed to protect against rodent damage while maintaining flexibility for quick deployment.

The cable’s stainless-steel spiral tube offers exceptional mechanical strength, withstanding high tensile and crush loads, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Its lightweight and compact design ensure easy installation, even in challenging spaces.

Key Features

  1. Armored Cable Protection
    • Built with a stainless-steel spiral tube to resist rodent bites and physical damage.
    • Crush resistance up to 1000N/100mm (short term) ensures durability during installation and operation.
  2. Flexible and Durable Design
    • Withstands torsion, impact, and bending with no fiber damage or attenuation increase.
    • Supports minimum bending radius of 20× cable diameter during installation.
  3. High-Performance Optical Characteristics
    • Low insertion loss (≤0.3dB) and high return loss (≥60dB) ensure stable optical performance.
    • Available in G652D, G657A1/A2/B3, OM2, OM3, and OM4 fiber types for various applications.
  4. Pre-Terminated for Quick Deployment
    • Plug-and-play design eliminates the need for on-site splicing or termination.
    • Easily threads through pipes with inner diameters >6mm for concealed installations.

 Steps to Thread the Pullable Pre-Connectorized Bullet LC/APC Through a Wall Pipe

  1. Insert the Steel Wire into the Pull Cap
  • Pass the φ1mm steel wire through the crimping ring and into the round hole of the pull cap.
  • Ensure the cap is securely tightened.
  1. Position the Crimping Ring
  • Place the crimping ring so it overlaps with the steel wire.
  1. Secure the Crimping Ring
  • Use pliers to press the crimping ring tightly.
  • Confirm that the wire rope is firmly fixed and cannot loosen.
  1. Pull the Connector Through the Pipe
  • Gently pull the connector with the steel wire through the hidden wall pipe until it reaches the desired position.
FAQ


Q1: What is a pullable pre-connectorized bullet LC/APC patch cord?

It is an armored fiber optic patch cord with factory-installed LC/APC connectors, designed with a slim “bullet” pulling eye for easy installation through ducts and conduits without connector damage.

Q2: Why choose an armored patch cord for FTTH or outdoor use?
The armored layer provides extra protection against rodent bites, bending, and crushing, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

Q3: What connector type does this patch cord use?
Both ends are terminated with LC/APC connectors, offering low insertion loss and excellent return loss performance for FTTH and telecom networks.

Q4: Can these cables be customized?
Yes. Length, jacket material, pulling-eye size, labeling, and packaging can all be tailored to project needs.

Q5: What jacket options are available?
Typical options include LSZH for indoor installations and UV-resistant PE or armored jackets for outdoor applications.

Q6: How are the cords tested before shipment?
Each assembly is 100% tested for insertion loss, return loss, and mechanical reliability to meet industry standards.

Q7: What are the typical applications of bullet-type pre-terminated cords?
They are widely used in FTTH drop cable installations, outdoor-to-indoor transitions, and areas where fast, plug-and-play deployment is required.

Q8: What is the standard delivery time?
Standard models are often available for quick shipment, while customized armored assemblies generally require 5–10 working days.
