Description
Why SC/APC with Armoured Protection
SC/APC is the standard interface for ODFs, PON splitters, and CATV equipment. The APC 8-degree polish dramatically reduces optical back reflection, which is critical for RF-over-fiber, GPON, XG-PON, and XGS-PON systems.
Adding an armoured cable layer transforms this patch cord into a field-ready solution that can be routed through:
-
Outdoor cabinets
-
Floor ducts
-
Cable trays
-
Base station enclosures
without risking fiber breakage.

Why APC + OS2 + Armoured Is the Industry Standard
APC connectors provide return loss ≥60 dB, preventing signal reflection that can disrupt analog video, RF, and PON transmission.
OS2 single-mode fiber supports 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G+ and long-distance links.
Armoured construction ensures long-term physical reliability in real-world deployments.
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 SC/APC be used with UPC ports?
No. APC and UPC connectors must never be mixed, as this can damage connectors and degrade performance.
Q3: Is OEM or distributor branding available?
Yes. We provide OEM, ODM, private labeling, and customized packaging.
Q4: What is the MOQ for wholesale orders?
MOQ is flexible, allowing small trial orders and large project procurement.
Q5: Does the armoured layer affect optical loss?
No. The armouring provides mechanical protection only and does not increase insertion loss.
Q6: Who typically purchases this model?
It is commonly sourced by telecom operators, CATV providers, FTTH contractors, and system integrators.
