Description
Why FC/APC to SC/APC in an Armoured Design
-
FC/APC offers threaded, vibration-proof locking, ideal for test equipment, telecom racks, and long-term carrier links.
-
SC/APC is the standard interface for ODFs, PON splitters, and CATV headends.
-
APC polishing (8° angle) delivers return loss ≥60 dB, minimizing reflection and laser noise.
-
Armoured cable protects against crushing, pulling, rodents, and sharp bends, making it perfect for outdoor and industrial deployments.
This combination makes the cable a preferred choice for FTTH, GPON, XG-PON, XGS-PON, and RF-over-fiber networks.

Why APC + Armoured Is the Industry Standard
APC connectors drastically reduce optical back reflection, which is essential for:
-
CATV
-
RF-over-fiber
-
PON and FTTx networks
-
High-power laser systems
The armoured structure ensures long-term reliability in field installations, lowering maintenance cost and downtime for operators and integrators.
Professional FAQ
Q1: Is this cable suitable for FTTH and PON networks?
Yes. It is fully compatible with GPON, XG-PON, and XGS-PON systems.
Q2: Can APC connectors be mixed with UPC ports?
No. APC and UPC must never be mixed—doing so can damage connectors and degrade performance.
Q3: Is OEM or private labeling available?
Yes. We provide OEM, ODM, private branding, and customized packaging.
Q4: What is the MOQ for bulk sourcing?
MOQ is flexible, supporting both small trial orders and large project deployments.
Q5: Does armouring affect optical performance?
No. Armouring provides mechanical protection only and does not increase insertion loss.
Q6: What kind of customers typically buy this cable?
It is commonly purchased by telecom operators, CATV providers, FTTH contractors, and system integrators.
