SYNAPTIC SC/APC-SC/APC DROP 40m Patchcord on S-NOTKtsdD 1TB Cable

Patchcord SC/APC DROP – Reliable Connection for Optical Networks

The Patchcord SC/APC DROP is a high-quality single-mode fiber optic cable with a 3 mm diameter, designed for use in modern optical networks. Its lightweight and durable construction makes it ideal for applications in FTTH, LAN, WAN, and WDM systems. Terminated with SC/APC to SC/APC connectors, it ensures stable and precise connections between optical devices such as switches, converters, OLTs, and ONUs/ONTs.

Manufactured with G.657A2 fiber and reinforced with aramid yarn, the cable offers excellent flexibility, superior bend resistance, and outstanding transmission performance. The polyurethane (PU) jacket and UV resistance make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The SC/APC DROP patchcord is a reliable choice for network installers and operators who value durability, safety, and high-performance optical connections.

Key Features: Aramid yarn reinforcement – enhances strength for aerial installations. Lightweight 3 mm design – simplifies installation and handling. High flexibility – adapts easily to various installation conditions. Polyurethane (PU) jacket – protects the fiber and enhances environmental resistance. UV resistance – extends service life in outdoor use. Completely dielectric – eliminates the risk of electrical surges. G.657A2 fiber – ensures high-quality data transmission.

Additional Specifications: Minimum bending radius: 7.5 mm – ensures safe and flexible installation. Crush resistance: 100 N/10 cm – protects against mechanical damage. Equivalent to: Optix S-QOTKSdD 1J – compatible with a popular cable type. Durable SC/APC-SC/APC connectors – provide stable, high-quality optical connections.

Applications: Last-mile connections – ideal for the final segments of optical networks. Aerial installations – central strength member supports pole mounting and open-space setups. Cable duct installations – suitable for tight spaces in cable trays and conduits. FTTH networks – commonly used to bring fiber to homes and apartments. LAN and WAN networks – applicable in both local and wide area networks. WDM systems – compatible with wavelength-division multiplexing technology. Indoor and outdoor installations – resistant to environmental elements. Pole-to-premises connections – used in subscriber drop lines. Span installations – ideal for long-distance suspensions between poles.
