LC to SC/APC Singlemode Ultra Fiber Cable for High-Speed, Long-Distance Communication
The iFiber Optix LC to SC/APC Singlemode Ultra Fiber Cable is engineered for high-speed, low-loss data transmission over long distances — ideal for modern telecom networks, data centers, and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) installations.
Combining the compact, high-density LC (Lucent Connector) interface with the low-reflection performance of the SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector, this singlemode fiber cable delivers superior signal integrity for high-bandwidth, long-range applications.
LC to SC/APC Singlemode Ultra Fiber Cable
An LC to SC/APC Singlemode Ultra Fiber Cable features a compact LC connector on one end and an SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector on the other, paired with singlemode fiber optimized for long-distance communication. The LC connector supports high-density terminations in data centers and telecom rooms, while the SC/APC connector’s angled polish minimizes back reflection — critical for high-performance and high-bandwidth networks.
With a singlemode core designed for low attenuation over distance, this cable ensures seamless, low-loss data transmission across telecom backbones, FTTH distribution, and enterprise or metropolitan networks requiring stable long-range connectivity.

SC/APC connectors are widely used in FTTH systems, ensuring reliable, high-speed internet connections between central offices, distribution networks, and customer premises.
Data Centers
LC connectors support high-density, space-efficient terminations in data centers, while SC/APC interfaces provide low-reflection links for uplinks and long-haul connections.
Enterprise Networks & WANs
Ideal for campus and multi-site enterprise environments, these cables support low-latency, long-distance connectivity between buildings, remote sites, and core network locations.
Metropolitan Networks
In metro networks, LC to SC/APC singlemode cables deliver fast, stable communication across city-wide infrastructure with minimal signal degradation.
Custom & Specialized Systems
When unique distances, environments, or connector mixes are required, customizable LC to SC/APC assemblies integrate cleanly into specialized telecom, carrier, and private network architectures.
How to Choose the Right LC to SC/APC Configuration
Four decisions define your LC to SC/APC singlemode assembly — use this guide to arrive at the right configuration for your deployment.
Distance & Bandwidth Requirements
Singlemode fiber is ideal for long-distance, high-bandwidth communication, especially when runs exceed a few hundred meters. For metro, FTTH, and backbone links requiring 10G, 40G, or 100G performance, LC to SC/APC singlemode assemblies deliver the reach and throughput you need.
Connector Compatibility
Confirm that your equipment supports LC and SC/APC connectors or that appropriate adapters are available. Use SC/APC on ports and panels where reflection is a concern, and LC where density and compact terminations are required.
Select Cable Length & Jacket
Choose standard or custom lengths that match your routing path without excessive slack, and specify jacket types suited to your environment — such as ruggedized, plenum, or LSZH options for harsh or regulated installations.
Reflection-Sensitive Applications
For links where signal reflection can impact performance — such as FTTH, long-haul telecom, or high-bandwidth optical systems — prioritize SC/APC terminations and ensure your LC to SC/APC fibers are correctly matched to your optical budget and equipment tolerances.
