- Hybrid equipment racks with SC and FC connectors
- Laboratory test instruments using FC/PC ports
- Data centre cabinets requiring angled and secure connections
Connector Advantages
SC/APC connectors are angled to reduce back reflection and are commonly used in high-precision RF and video transmissions. FC/PC connectors use a threaded mechanism that ensures a secure and vibration-resistant connection—especially useful in test equipment and critical systems.
By combining both interfaces in a single duplex format, this patch lead bridges two platforms with optimal transmission performance, reducing the need for extra adapters or patch panels.
Jacket Safety and Build
The cable is available in both LSZH and PVC jacket options. LSZH is ideal for enclosed, public, or environmentally controlled spaces where smoke and halogen emissions must be minimised. PVC is more cost-effective and flexible, suitable for general indoor runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this patch lead with FTTH and lab equipment?
Yes. The SC/APC to FC/PC configuration is ideal for bridging FTTH infrastructure and laboratory instruments that use FC ports.
What is the benefit of SC/APC over SC/UPC?
SC/APC connectors provide better return loss performance due to their angled polish, making them ideal for RF and video transmission with minimal signal reflection.
Is FC/PC the same as FC/UPC?
FC/PC is a general term that may refer to FC connectors with physical contact polish. FC/UPC is a subset of PC connectors with ultra-polish, offering better performance. If your equipment specifies FC/PC, this cable will be compatible.
