1M SC/APC to FC Simplex SM Patch Lead – High-Precision Hybrid Connectivity
The 1 Metre SC/APC to FC Simplex Single Mode Patch Lead from Attac is a premium fibre optic solution designed for bridging systems with SC/APC and FC interfaces. Built for long-distance, low-loss single-mode applications, this patch lead ensures high reliability and signal clarity in critical networking environments.
Hybrid Interface for Legacy and Modern Systems
This patch lead features an SC/APC connector (angled polish) on one end and an FC/PC connector (flat polish with secure screw-type coupling) on the other—making it perfect for cross-compatibility between fibre infrastructure, telecom systems, and optical test equipment. It supports unidirectional fibre communication via its simplex configuration.
