1M LC/APC SM Patch Lead for Long-Distance Precision Fibre Networks
Optimise your single-mode fibre infrastructure with the 1 Metre LC/APC to LC/APC Simplex SM Patch Lead—a high-precision fibre optic cable designed for superior performance in structured cabling, telecom environments, and FTTH (Fibre to the Home) installations. Built with G657A/G652D fibre, low-loss LC/APC connectors, and a durable LSZH jacket, this patch lead is your go-to solution for high-quality long-distance data transmission.
Precision-Engineered for Performance
This LC/APC SM Patch Lead supports simplex (single-fibre) communication and is perfect for scenarios that demand low insertion and return loss. The LC/APC connectors feature an angled polish for minimal back reflection, achieving insertion loss under 0.2dB and return loss up to 60dB. This ensures stable, lossless signal integrity across long spans.
