The SC Fiber Patch Cord is a high-performance fiber optic cable designed specifically for FTTH (Fiber to the Home) and FTTx applications. This patch cord, also known as a fiber optic jumper or drop cable, plays a critical role in linking optical network terminals (ONTs), splitters, and other fiber optic devices. Engineered with durability, low insertion loss, and easy installation in mind, this cable is ideal for use in Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs), residential buildings, and commercial environments.
What Is an SC Fiber Patch Cord?
An SC Fiber Patch Cord is a pre-terminated fiber optic cable featuring SC/UPC or SC/APC connectors. It is composed of one or more optical fibers housed within a flat or round cable structure. The cable includes strong strength members such as KFRP (Kevlar Fiber Reinforced Polymer), FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), or steel wire, ensuring high mechanical strength and reliability. A self-supporting version is available using a 1.0mm diameter FRP or steel wire for easy aerial or wall-mount installation.
This drop cable jumper supports G657A1 or G657A2 bend-insensitive single-mode fibers, ensuring excellent optical performance in tight bend situations typical of FTTH installations. The outer jacket is made of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material, offering flame retardance and environmental safety.
Key Features of SC Fiber Patch Cord
- High Tensile Strength & Self-Supporting Design
Reinforced with a 1.0mm steel wire or FRP member, the cable offers excellent tensile strength, reducing the need for additional installation support and lowering installation costs. - Crush Resistance & Fiber Protection
Dual parallel KFRP/FRP/steel wire strength members provide superior resistance to mechanical stress, protecting the delicate optical fiber during installation and long-term use. - Easy Installation and Maintenance
The flat cable design and unique flute structure make stripping and splicing straightforward. Ideal for fast deployment and simplified maintenance in FTTH networks. - Bend-Insensitive Optical Fiber
Built with G657A1 or G657A2 single-mode fiber, this patch cord minimizes signal loss in tight bends, corners, or complex pathways. - Safe and Environmentally Friendly Sheath
The outer sheath is made from LSZH material, which emits low smoke and no halogen when exposed to fire. Available in black or white for flexible indoor or outdoor installation.
