SC APC to SC APC connections utilize an angled physical contact method. You’ll find that the fiber end faces have a precise 8-degree angle. This reduces signal loss. This design minimizes Fresnel reflection at connection points. A convex end face radius ranges from 5 millimeters to 12 millimeters. The apex offset is less than 25 micrometers. It makes for good core alignment. You benefit from enhanced return loss performance. This exceeds 65 decibels.
SC APC to SC APC cables provide minimal insertion loss. They feature precision zirconia ferrules. Typical values are under 0.2 decibels. Connector ferrule end-face geometry meets Telcordia GR-326-CORE specifications. Thus, you receive consistent optical performance. Fiber core misalignment is less than 0.5 micrometers. The submicron diamond particles are used for the polishing processes. This creates a smooth finish. With these cables you have reliable signals.
Using these SC APC to SC APC cables results in greatly diminished back reflections. The 8-degree angled polish directs any reflected light into the cladding. Light does not interfere with the transmitted signal.
A typical return loss is better than -60 decibels. The fibers have a numerical aperture of 0.14. Therefore, light gathering stays efficient. You will notice improved signal clarity. Attenuation at 1550 nanometers is below 0.22 dB per kilometer.
SC APC to SC APC patch cords utilize single-mode fiber. The core diameter is around 9 micrometers. This permits only one light mode. The cladding diameter measures 125 micrometers. You achieve high bandwidth over long distances. Chromatic dispersion is under 3.5 ps/nm-km at 1310 nanometers. The mode field diameter measures 9.2 micrometers. Consequently, these fiber cables support Gigabit Ethernet.
