2M SC/APC Simplex SM Patch Lead – Precision Fibre for Long-Distance Optical Networks
The 2 Metre SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Single-Mode Patch Lead from Attac is designed to meet the performance demands of modern long-distance fibre optic communication systems. With angled SC/APC connectors on both ends, this patchcord provides superior return loss and minimal back reflection—making it ideal for FTTH deployments, CATV systems, and critical telecom infrastructure.
High Return Loss and Low Insertion Loss
Equipped with SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors, this patch lead reduces signal degradation from reflected light, achieving return loss ≥60dB. It also maintains a low insertion loss of ≤0.20dB, which ensures a clean and stable optical path—essential in high-bandwidth and long-haul communication systems.

Reliable Safety and Performance
The patchcord features a LSZH or PVC jacket to meet installation safety standards in confined or sensitive environments. LSZH is ideal for populated areas and enclosed equipment racks, where low smoke and low toxicity are mandatory in case of fire. The 2-metre length provides adequate flexibility for structured cabling and rack-level patching.
Precision Engineering for Critical Links
SC/APC connectors are the preferred choice for applications where low back reflection is vital. These angled connectors reduce signal interference in systems such as RF overlay in FTTH, WDM transmissions, and CATV infrastructure, helping maintain signal clarity and performance across the network.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SC/UPC and SC/APC?
SC/UPC connectors are flat-polished and offer low insertion loss, while SC/APC connectors are angled-polished and significantly reduce return loss, making them better suited for long-distance or high-precision applications.
Can this patch lead be used for RF video overlay applications?
Yes. The SC/APC connectors provide excellent return loss, making this patch lead ideal for RF signal transmission in FTTH or CATV networks where signal reflection must be minimised.
Is LSZH safer than PVC?
Yes. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material emits less smoke and fewer toxic fumes than PVC when exposed to fire, making it safer for use in enclosed or public environments.
