Mini SC patch cords for outdoor applications are rugged fiber optic cables designed to withstand harsh environments. Featuring compact mini SC connectors, they offer reliable, low-loss connections, UV and weather resistance, and durable performance in high-density networks. Suitable for both single-mode and multimode fibers, available in various lengths.
Application
1. Multi-purpose Outdoor.
2. For connection between distribution box and RRH.
3. Deployment in Remote Radio Head cell tower applications.
Features
1. Cost effective solution for in house termination.
2. Low insertion loss and added loss.
3. Height of attenuation.
4. IP68 water, dust proof and corrosion resistant
5. The material in the jumpel cable are all-weather and UV-resistant.
6. Mechanical performance: IEC 61754-20
7. RoHS and REACH materials compliant.
