1M LC/APC to SC/APC Duplex SM Patch Lead for Hybrid Telecom Networks
The 1 Metre LC/APC to SC/APC Duplex Single Mode Patch Lead is designed for precision fibre connectivity across FTTH, FTTx, PON, and telecom applications. Ideal for bridging LC/APC and SC/APC interface equipment, this patch lead supports high-bandwidth, low-loss transmission across long-distance single-mode networks.
Hybrid Polish and Connector Compatibility
Engineered with an LC/APC connector on one end and an SC/APC connector on the other, this duplex patchcord is suitable for environments where equipment uses different connector types. Both connectors feature angled physical contact (APC) to reduce back reflection and ensure return loss ≥60dB, maintaining stable signal integrity across all connections.

Flame-Safe and Network-Ready
The cable is enclosed in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, making it suitable for use in populated or enclosed environments. LSZH materials minimise toxic emissions and smoke in the event of a fire, making this patch lead an ideal choice for data centres, telecom rooms, and public installations.
Duplex Efficiency in a Compact Format
With its 1 metre length, this duplex patch lead is ideal for short, high-density patching between optical panels and active equipment. The two-fibre configuration supports bidirectional communication while maintaining a clean and organised cable layout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can LC/APC and SC/APC be connected directly?
Yes. This patch lead is specifically designed to interconnect devices using LC/APC and SC/APC connectors while maintaining optimal signal integrity and minimal return loss.
Is this patch lead suitable for FTTH installations?
Absolutely. It’s ideal for connecting ONTs and OLTs in FTTH and FTTx networks where SC/APC interfaces are standard and LC/APC is used in distribution panels or active devices.
What safety compliance does the jacket meet?
The LSZH jacket complies with IEC and RoHS standards, reducing toxic emissions and smoke in case of fire—ideal for enclosed or high-density environments.
