OFFCUP LC/APC-10M-OS2 Fibre Optic Cable, 10m OS2 Singlemode, LSZH

For a fibre broadband setup that needs an LC/APC connection, this OFFCUP cable links compatible optical equipment over a 10m run.

Its OS2 singlemode fibre and LC/APC connectors are designed for FTTH, telecommunications and network cabling, with support for Gigabit connections.

Choose a longer cable when the equipment needs to sit further from the fibre connection, a shorter lead is better for a direct, close-range link.

The essentials

The cable has LC/APC connectors at both ends, making the connector type the key detail to match with your fibre equipment and network connection. It is intended for networks that use an LC/APC interface, including compatible equipment and services from providers such as Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Glasfaser, Vodafone, 1&1, M-net, EWE, PYUR and NetCologne. The connector must match the interface at both ends, an SC/APC connection uses a different connector type.

OS2 singlemode fibre is suited to fibre-to-the-home connections and other network cabling applications. The cable is specified for data transfer rates of 1 Gigabit per second, making it a practical link for everyday broadband use such as streaming, gaming and moving data between compatible network equipment. Its simplex LC/APC connectors have an 8° angle, and the cable is designed for indoor use.

Size & fit

At 10m long, this cable gives you more routing reach than a short patch lead when the fibre termination and network equipment are not close together. Its 3mm outer diameter offers a useful fit for indoor routing, while the white finish can sit discreetly alongside light-coloured walls or equipment.

The bend-resistant fibre follows the ITU-T G.657.A2 standard and has a minimum bending radius of 7.5mm. This helps when routing around corners or entrances, where a cable needs to turn without being folded sharply. Keep to that minimum radius during installation to support the cable’s intended performance.

How to use it

Connect one LC/APC end to the matching LC/APC port on the fibre equipment and the other to the compatible network device. Check the connector type before connecting: LC/APC is not interchangeable with SC/APC. Once connected, route the cable indoors along the path between the two devices, allowing for its bend radius at corners and avoiding sharp folds.

The LSZH jacket is designed to produce less smoke and contains no halogens, making the cable suitable for indoor spaces and sensitive IT environments. Its 3mm construction is intended to offer added protection against compression, shock and abrasion during regular use. For a home FTTH installation, the 10m length can help position a router or other network equipment where it is needed while maintaining a wired fibre connection.

Is it worth it?

This cable is a considered choice when your setup calls for LC/APC at both ends, OS2 singlemode fibre and enough length to route between separate points indoors. Its 10m reach, bend-resistant design and LSZH construction bring practical benefits to home fibre broadband, network infrastructure and other supported cabling jobs. If your equipment uses LC/APC and your installation needs a longer indoor run, it provides a straightforward way to make that connection.
