Single Mode SC/APC Patch Cord 3m

A 3-meter simplex single mode optical fiber patch cord constructed with Corning G652D fiber and terminated with SC/APC connectors equipped with ceramic ferrules. Outer jacket is 3.0 mm PVC — insulated, durable, and wear-resistant — measuring 1000 × 1 × 1 cm (393 × 0.39 × 0.39 in). Supports dual-wavelength operation at 1310 nm and 1550 nm with insertion loss no greater than 1 dB. Rated for tensile strength up to 200 N and minimum bend radius of 3.8 cm. Designed specifically for high-reliability, high-density environments including telecom exchanges, carrier-neutral data centres, and campus-wide fibre backbones. The combination of G652D fibre and APC polish ensures minimal modal noise and reflection-related bit errors — particularly important when interfacing with SFP+ and XFP optics used in UK-based cloud providers’ edge routers. Its compact form factor and consistent mechanical performance make it suitable for repeated plug/unplug cycles in live production environments. Typical applications include connecting optical line terminals (OLTs) to splitters in FTTP cabinets, linking core switches in Tier-3 UK data centres, and extending fibre links across university campuses or NHS hospital networks where electromagnetic immunity and long-term stability are non-negotiable.
