SC/APC 12-Core Pigtail | Ultra-Low Reflection for Precision Networks

Where signal integrity is non-negotiable, our SC/APC 12-core single-mode fiber pigtail delivers. Featuring the angled physical contact (APC) polish, it is engineered to eliminate back reflection in sensitive optical systems, making it the definitive choice for FTTx, CATV, and high-speed coherent transmission applications.

Description

Designed for Demanding Applications

  • Maximized Signal Purity: The 8° angled end-face reduces back reflection to >60 dB, preventing interference in analog and RFoG systems.

  • High-Density Fit: SC connectors offer a secure, stable connection in space-conscious panels and distribution frames.

  • Factory-Certified Performance: Each pigtail is individually tested for insertion loss, return loss, and end-face geometry to ensure compliance.

  • Future-Ready: Supports wavelengths from 1310 nm to 1625 nm, compatible with CWDM/DWDM and PON technologies.

Technical Q&A

Q: When is SC/APC absolutely necessary instead of SC/UPC?
A: SC/APC is critical in any analog or RF-over-fiber application (e.g., CATV, satellite), and in PON networks (GPON, XGS-PON) where high return loss prevents upstream laser interference and ensures stable subscriber service.

Q: Is the green connector standard for APC?
A: Yes, the green strain relief and body are industry-standard identifiers for APC polish, allowing quick visual differentiation from blue UPC connectors.

Q: Can this pigtail be used in existing UPC infrastructure?
A: No. APC and UPC connectors are not physically compatible. Mating them can damage both end-faces. Ensure all connecting adapters and equipment ports are also APC-type.
