MTP/APC Female to 12 SC Simplex Fanout Cable 12 Fibers Single Mode 9/125 1M

The MTP/APC Female to 12 SC Simplex Fanout Cable is designed to bridge high-density MTP backbone systems with SC-based optical interfaces commonly used in telecom, enterprise, and access networks. Utilizing 12 OS2 9/125µm single-mode fibers, this assembly delivers stable, low-loss transmission for long-haul and high-reliability optical links.

The MTP/APC female connector features an angled physical contact interface that effectively minimizes back reflection, making it particularly suitable for single-mode systems sensitive to optical return loss. On the fan-out side, 12 SC simplex connectors provide robust and easy-to-handle terminations, ideal for environments where mechanical stability and connector durability are priorities.

A reinforced fan-out transition protects individual fibers as they separate from the main trunk, helping to prevent stress concentration, fiber movement, and performance degradation during installation or routine maintenance. The OFNR-rated 3.0mm outer jacket supports deployment in riser spaces, while the yellow sheath clearly identifies the cable as single-mode within mixed-network infrastructures.

Manufactured under strict quality control procedures, each cable assembly is factory polished, cleaned, and optically tested in compliance with IEC, TIA/EIA, and Telcordia GR-326 requirements. Proper handling practices—such as maintaining bend radius limits and keeping APC connectors clean—are recommended to preserve long-term performance.

MPO/MTP Fiber Assembly Customization Options

Q1: Why choose SC connectors instead of LC for this fanout cable?
A: SC connectors provide a larger ferrule and stronger push-pull mechanism, making them suitable for environments prioritizing robustness and ease of manual handling.

Q2: Is this cable compatible with standard MTP trunk systems?
A: Yes. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard MTP backbone trunks following industry polarity conventions.

Q3: Can the cable be supplied with SC/APC connectors on the fan-out end?
A: Yes. SC/APC fan-out configurations can be produced to match specific system reflection requirements.

Q4: How is optical quality ensured during production?
A: Each assembly undergoes end-face inspection and 100% insertion loss and return loss testing before shipment.

Q5: What is the expected delivery time for customized configurations?
A: Lead time varies depending on customization scope and order volume, with optimized production scheduling for OEM projects.

Q6: Do you provide technical support for system design and deployment?
A: Yes. Engineering support, documentation, and test reports are available to assist with network planning and installation.
