Pre-assembled optical patch cables for connecting network elements via single-mode fibre optic cables. As they are duplex patch cables, they are ideal for fibre optic networks where the same element is used for upload and download.The SC/APC connectors mean that the cables can also be used for optical modules of the T0X headends.The sheath is LSFH and is recommended for indoor installation.
The cable is fitted with a short sleeve at both ends, which facilitates installation in flush-mounted junction boxes and prevents attenuation increases due to unwanted bending. In addition, the short sleeve makes it easier to insert the patch cable into the empty conduits, reduces the space required for the connection and the bending radius is smaller.

Highlights
– Low attenuation and high reliability
– Connectors offset at one end to facilitate passage through cable ducts
– Short sleeve at both ends: enables a smaller bending radius and optimum adaptation in the connection area
– Identification markings are supplied to indicate that the opt. cables belong together
