DESCRIPTION
The 9/125μm single mode fiber optic cable meets RoHS compliant, and all cables are 100% optically tested for insertion loss to ensure high quality, it is very cost-effective for network cabling.
HOLIGHT also provides a full set of OEM services, such as fiber connector, length, color, fiber grade, specification, material, package etc.
- Auto Shutter Mechanism:
- Protects ferrule end face from dust, debris, and scratches, maintaining optimal performance.
- Low Insertion and High Return Loss:
- Stable transmission with minimal signal loss (Insertion loss ≤0.3dB, Return loss ≥60dB).
- Robust Construction:
- Rugged LSZH jacket resists environmental stress, ensuring long-term durability.
- APC Connector:
- Angled Polished Connector (APC) reduces back reflection, improving signal stability.
- Wide Operating Range:
- Functions efficiently in extreme temperatures and environments.

Selection Notes
Typically selected when FTTH or access-network environments involve frequent connector exposure, open outlets, or user-side handling where dust protection and accidental laser exposure control are necessary.
May not be appropriate for closed, fully enclosed patch panels or permanently connected links where connectors remain mated and environmental contamination risk is minimal.
- FTTH Deployments: Clean and reliable connections for fiber-to-the-home setups.
- Telecommunication Networks: Stable optical signal transmission over long distances.
- Data Centers: High-density cabling systems with enhanced protection.
- Testing Laboratories: Ensures clean connectors for precise optical testing.
- Harsh Environments: Suitable for outdoor and industrial applications with its rugged design.
Q1: What is the function of the auto shutter on SC/APC connectors?
The auto shutter prevents dust and accidental laser exposure by automatically closing when disconnected, improving safety and durability.
Q2: Why choose APC connectors over UPC?
APC connectors offer superior return loss (≥60 dB), making them ideal for single-mode telecom and FTTH applications requiring low back reflection.
Q3: What is the typical insertion loss performance?
Insertion loss is ≤0.3 dB typical, ensuring stable and efficient single-mode signal transmission.
Q4: What jacket material options are available?
Standard options include LSZH for indoor safety, PVC for economical use, and OFNR/OFNP for riser or plenum installations.
Q5: Can I customize length and color?
Yes. Length, jacket color, labeling, and packaging can be tailored to project needs.
Q6: What applications use SC APC simplex patch cords with auto shutter?
They are widely used in FTTH, telecom central offices, and outdoor distribution networks where dust protection is critical.
Q7: How are the patch cords tested?
All cords undergo 100% optical testing for insertion and return loss, ensuring compliance with IEC/Telcordia standards.
