Product description
A short patch lead suits a direct connection, while longer routes need extra reach between network points. This 15 m OFFCUP cable provides a singlemode fibre link with LC/APC connectors at both ends. Its bend-resistant design helps with routing around corners and through entry points. It is intended for FTTH and other fibre network connections.
How to use it
Connect the LC/APC ends to compatible LC/APC fibre ports to link the relevant network equipment. The plug-and-play format keeps setup straightforward: route the cable along the intended path, then connect each end securely. Its 15 m length can help when the two connection points are farther apart than a short patch lead can reach, such as across a room or between network points in a home installation.
The cable is singlemode and simplex, so it is designed for a single fibre connection path. For a route that needs to pass around corners or through entry points, its G.657.A2 bend-resistant fibre and stated minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm support more flexible routing. Keep to that minimum radius during installation to help maintain the cable’s low-loss performance.
What you’ll notice day to day
The LC/APC-to-LC/APC connector arrangement makes it a practical choice when both ends of the fibre link use that connector type. Its OS2 singlemode construction is intended for high-speed data transmission, while the listed data transfer rate is 1 Gigabit per second. The stated insertion loss is ≤0.25 dB, supporting a stable connection for compatible network equipment.
The 3 mm LSZH outer layer gives the cable a slim profile for routing in indoor network installations. LSZH means low smoke and halogen free, the jacket is also described as flame retardant. These properties make the cable relevant to enclosed or public environments where the cable jacket is an important part of the installation choice. Unlike a shorter lead, its 15 m length offers more scope to route between separated connection points without changing the connector type.

Practical questions
Is this a duplex cable? No. It is a simplex cable for a single fibre connection path, so choose it when that matches the link you need to make.
What connector type is on each end? Both ends use LC/APC connectors. Check that the equipment ports for the connection are also LC/APC.
Can it be routed around corners? Its G.657.A2 bend-resistant fibre is designed for flexible routing, with a stated minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm. Keep the route within that radius during installation.
Should you buy it?
You’ll like it if you need a 15 m singlemode link with LC/APC connectors for a home fibre installation or another compatible network setup. The simplex OS2 construction, bend-resistant fibre and slim LSZH jacket make it suited to routing a connection between separated points, including around corners and through entry routes. Choose it when those connectors and a single fibre path fit your installation.
