Key Features

Engineered For Performance

FTTH Industry Standard

SC/APC is the dominant pigtail type for FTTH deployments worldwide, used at OLT, splitter, and ONU splice points throughout passive optical networks.

≥60dB Return Loss

Angled physical contact eliminates back-reflections that degrade upstream signals in PON networks, ensuring clean optical performance across the entire FTTH link.

G.657A2 Bend-Insensitive Option

Bend-insensitive fiber withstands 7.5mm minimum bend radius, allowing tight routing inside splice closures, terminal boxes, and wall-mount fiber outlets.

OEM Customizable

Available with custom lengths, jacket materials, fiber types, and packaging to meet specific deployment requirements and operator specifications.

Typical Applications

01

FTTH OLT/ONU Splicing

Standard SC/APC pigtail for fusion splicing at optical line terminals and optical network units in GPON, XGS-PON, and EPON fiber-to-the-home networks.

02

PON Splitter Connections

Terminate PLC and FBT splitter ports with SC/APC pigtails to maintain high return loss throughout the passive optical distribution network.

03

Fiber Distribution Hub

SC/APC pigtails in outdoor fiber distribution hubs and cabinets for subscriber port termination in FTTH access network distribution points.
