Cabo de patch de fibra ótica com armadura de aço Digitus LC/APC - LC/APC 1 m

The steel-armored fiber optic patch cable provides enhanced protection against mechanical damage, extended service life and low signal loss, making it suitable for demanding environments and high-performance FTTH networks. This armored simplex patch cord combines robust shielding with a compact, flexible design for easier routing and installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

The armored construction shields the singlemode 9/125 fiber from crushing, bending and rodent damage while preserving reliable signal transmission and low insertion loss. Despite the metal armor, the cable remains relatively light and flexible, simplifying deployment in industrial automation, enterprise networks and FTTH installations where both protection and high optical performance are required.

How to use

Route the armored fiber patch cable through cable trays, conduits or surface paths, avoiding sharp bends below the minimum bend radius specified for G.657.A2 fibers. Insert LC/APC connectors into compatible LC/APC ports, ensuring correct alignment and gentle insertion to maintain low insertion loss and return loss. For outdoor or industrial runs, secure the cable with appropriate clamps or ties to prevent mechanical stress on the connectors and cable armor.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors for cleanliness before installation and clean with fiber-grade wipes or appropriate cleaning tools if needed. Use strain relief at termination points and avoid repeated tight bending near connectors to preserve performance and longevity.
