Description
The Hybrid Solution: Bridging LC and SC
While the LC connector is favored for its space-saving “Small Form Factor” in high-density data centers, the SC connector remains the global standard for FTTH (Fiber to the Home) and telecommunication wall outlets due to its easy-to-use “push-pull” locking mechanism. This cable eliminates the need for signal-degrading adapters, providing a direct, low-loss path between LC and SC ports.

Key Product Highlights
-
Universal Compatibility: Perfect for connecting high-density LC-based switches to SC-based patch panels or optical network terminals (ONTs).
-
Angled Physical Contact (APC): Both ends feature the 8-degree green APC polish. This is mandatory for video (CATV) and high-speed data systems to prevent back-reflection from damaging the laser.
-
Superior Tensile Strength: With a rating of $\geq 200\text{N}$, these cables are durable enough for the rigorous routing found in crowded network cabinets.
-
Environmental Stability: The LSZH yellow jacket is resistant to high temperatures and non-deforming, ensuring a lifespan of over 15 years in stable environments.
Expert Q&A: Field Knowledge
Q1: Can I use this cable for my home internet (FTTH)?
A : Yes, provided your equipment uses APC (Green) ports. Many modern fiber routers use SC/APC, while the optical modules in higher-end switches use LC/APC. This is the exact cable you need for that “cross-generation” connection.
Q2: What is the difference between LC and SC connectors?
A : Primarily size. The LC ferrule is 1.25mm, whereas the SC ferrule is 2.5mm. Because LC is half the size, it is used for “high density.” SC is larger and more robust, making it the standard for general consumer-facing fiber connections.
Q3: Why is “Simplex” (SX) used instead of Duplex?
A : Simplex (single-strand) fiber is the standard for GPON and many modern BiDi (Bi-directional) systems. These systems transmit and receive light on different wavelengths through the same single fiber, making the cabling more efficient and cost-effective.
Q4: How do I clean the LC and SC ends?
A : Because they have different ferrule sizes (1.25mm vs 2.5mm), you will need two different “One-Click” cleaners or a universal lint-free wipe with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Cleanliness is the #1 factor in maintaining $<0.3\text{dB}$ loss.
