Description
This 2-core OptiTap SC/APC to LC/UPC duplex fiber optic cable is designed for connecting compatible fiber distribution interfaces and optical networking equipment in telecommunications and fiber access networks. It features duplex single-mode fiber, an OptiTap SC/APC connector on one end, and an LC/UPC duplex connector on the other. The G.657.A1 fiber provides improved bend performance for flexible cable routing, while the 5.4 mm outer diameter and 30 m length support practical installation in space-constrained environments. It is suitable for FTTA connections, outdoor fiber distribution systems, and telecommunications equipment interconnections, subject to the cable’s environmental rating and installation requirements.

FAQ
Can this cable connect OptiTap and LC interfaces?
Yes. The assembly connects a compatible OptiTap SC/APC duplex interface at one end to an LC/UPC duplex interface at the other. Each end must connect to its corresponding compatible port.
What are the benefits of G.657.A1 fiber?
G.657.A1 fiber offers improved macrobending performance compared with conventional single-mode fiber under specified test conditions. This makes it useful for installations where cable routing space is limited, although the cable’s minimum bend radius must still be observed.
Is this cable suitable for direct outdoor installation?
The original specification lists an OFNR jacket. OFNR is a riser-rated designation and does not independently confirm resistance to outdoor weather, UV exposure, or moisture. For direct outdoor installation, verify the complete cable’s environmental rating or select an appropriate outdoor-rated construction.
Can the cable length and connector configuration be customized?
Yes. Customization may be available for cable length, connector combinations, fiber grade, jacket construction, and breakout dimensions. Provide the required specifications and application details for compatibility and feasibility assessment.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm the connector interfaces, fiber grade, cable length, breakout dimensions, insertion loss requirements, and installation environment. The original specifications also list SMF-28® Ultra and G.657.A1; these should be verified against the actual fiber used before ordering.
