Features
Build a Stable and Robust Fiber Optic Network
High-quality tight-buffered cable protects the fibre optic core, and increases the strength and durability of the fibre.
Carrier-grade Cable Ensures Transmission Quality
Superior cable assemblies reduce light loss and easily meet your diverse cabling requirements.
Color-Coded Cable Jacket
A fibre cable's jacket colour is typically defined by the fibre type, and can differ based on mode and performance level.
A-to-B Fiber Polarity in Fiber Applications
To help the industry select and install the right components to maintain proper polarity, TIA-568-C standards recommend the A-B polarity scenario for duplex patch cords.
Meet the Various Indoor Installation Needs

Overview
The NS LC APC to FC APC Simplex Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable is a high-performance OS2 interconnect designed for long-distance, point-to-point links across entrance facilities, telecommunications rooms, data centers, and lab or test environments. With an LC APC connector on one end and an FC APC connector on the other, this cable provides a reliable interface between LC-based switches, routers or modules and FC-based transport shelves, amplifiers, or test equipment that require secure, threaded connections.
Built using bend-insensitive G.657.A1 fiber and a 2.0mm riser-rated (OFNR) tight-buffered jacket, this simplex patch cable delivers low insertion loss, ultra-high return loss, and excellent mechanical durability. The APC 8° angled polish on both ends helps to minimize back reflections, making this cable particularly suitable for long-distance OS2 applications—up to 10 km at 1310 nm or up to 40 km at 1550 nm—while reduced attenuation under bending and twisting improves installation flexibility and maintenance efficiency.
