Lynn Electronics SA1SA1-SMI3-100F Sc/apc Simplex Patch Cable

Product Description

The LYNN ELECTRONICS SA1SA1-SMI3-100F is a single-mode fiber optic patch cable terminated with SC/APC connectors on both ends in a simplex configuration. SC/APC connectors use an angled physical contact polish that reduces back-reflection, making this cable appropriate for high-return-loss applications such as FTTx, broadband distribution, and passive optical network installations. Licensed low-voltage and data cabling technicians install this cable type when connecting fiber-optic transceivers, patch panels, and optical network terminals in telecommunications and structured cabling environments.

This patch cable is suited for simplex single-mode fiber runs in both residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include connecting an ONT to a fiber patch panel, jumper runs inside telecom enclosures, and head-end equipment interconnects where a single fiber strand carrying bidirectional or wavelength-divided signals is required. The SC/APC interface is standard in passive optical network deployments.

Key Features

• SC/APC to SC/APC simplex configuration for single-fiber signal paths
• Angled physical contact polish on both connectors minimizes back-reflection
• Single-mode fiber for long-distance, low-attenuation signal transmission
• Simplex jacket suitable for tight-routed patch and jumper applications
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard jumper for fiber optic systems requiring SC/APC simplex single-mode patch connections, consistent with passive optical network and FTTx infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic technician familiar with proper fiber handling practices. Inspect both SC/APC ferrules for contamination before mating and clean with approved fiber optic cleaning tools prior to connection. Do not bend the cable tighter than the minimum bend radius specified for the fiber type, as microbending can cause insertion loss. Power down or disable active optical transceivers before disconnecting or reconnecting patch cables to avoid eye-safety hazards from live laser sources.
