SC Patchcord

The OPTOKON SC patchcords are manufactured according to JIS, IEC, EIA/TIA and ANSI specifications for intermateability and optical performance. The SC patchcords are offered for both SM applications, with PC and APC polishing method. All OPTOKON connectors now come with the laser printed OPTOKON logo and patchcord cables are produced by OPTOKON Kable factory and have a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cable jacket, are 0.9 mm Easy Strip buffer type and bend insensitive ITU-T G.657.A2 fiber. Customized patchcord cable diameter and color according to demand is available. Set of twelve colored pigtails are packed in a plastic bag, individually tested (label with test results and product description on bag) and come with a lifetime guarantee.
