SC/APC-0.9mm-SM Pigtail: Entwickelt für Signalreinheit in beengten Räumen

Beschreibung

Key Performance Drivers

1. Ultra-Low Reflectance: The 8° angled APC polish achieves a return loss greater than 60 dB, effectively eliminating back-reflection that can destabilize laser sources and degrade analog/RF signal quality.

2. Optimized for PON Architecture: This is the essential link in FTTH networks, connecting splitters to terminals with the signal integrity required for stable upstream/downstream traffic.

3. Density-Optimized Footprint: The slender 0.9mm body allows for clean, organized bundling in crowded optical splitter enclosures (e.g., 1×32, 1×64) and OLT racks, simplifying maintenance and airflow.

4. Instant Visual Identification: The distinctive green connector body and boot provide immediate, error-proof differentiation from blue UPC connectors in complex, mixed environments.

Specifications at a Glance

• Modell: SC/APC-0.9mm-SM

• Critical Performance: Insertion Loss < 0.25 dB | Return Loss > 60 dB

• Fiber Type: G.657.A1 (Bend-Insensitive Single-Mode)

• Physical Build: 0.9mm LSZH Tight Buffer, Green APC Connector

• Operating Spectrum: 1260 nm to 1625 nm (Full O, E, S, C, L Bands)

• Environmental Rating: Operating Temp: -40°C to +85°C

Technical Deployment Notes

• Compatibility Mandate: APC connectors must only mate with APC adapters. Forcing them into UPC ports will cause catastrophic end-face damage.

• Cleaning Protocol: Use only APC-grade, angled-ferrule cleaners to avoid damaging the precise polished surface.

• Ideal Use Case: Centralized PON splitting, MDU/MTU fiber distribution, RFoG headend connections, and any FTTx drop point requiring future-proof performance.

Q: Why is APC so critical specifically in PON networks?
A: PON uses a single fiber for bidirectional traffic. High-power downstream signals can create back-reflections that interfere with the weak, noise-sensitive upstream signals from multiple subscribers. APC’s >60 dB return loss crushes this reflection, preventing system noise, packet loss, and service interruptions—it’s not optional, it’s fundamental to the standard.

Q: Can I field-terminate or polish a 0.9mm cable to an APC finish reliably?
A: Achieving a reliable, in-spec APC polish requires controlled factory conditions with interferometer feedback. Field termination is strongly discouraged for APC applications. The performance risk from a poor polish (high IL/RL) is too great for critical network links. Pre-polished/connectorized solutions like this pigtail are the industry best practice.
