Simplex 3mm Singlemode 9/125 E2000/APC to E2000/APC Patch Cord - 3 Meters

Overview

This simplex fiber optic patch cord is engineered for precision signal transmission in singlemode applications. Featuring a 3mm jacket and terminated with E2000/APC connectors on both ends, this assembly provides high-density signal management and physical security suitable for demanding networking environments.

The E2000 interface incorporates an integrated spring-loaded shutter, which protects the connector end-face from dust and contaminants while providing automatic eye safety protection when disconnected. This makes it an ideal choice for high-power optical systems and critical infrastructure where reliable connections and environmental protection are required.

Key Features

• Integrated Dust Protection
  The E2000 connector features a spring-loaded metal shutter that protects the ferrule from dust and debris when the connector is not in use.
• High-Return Loss APC Polish
  Angled Physical Contact (APC) polishing ensures minimal back-reflection, which is essential for high-speed, long-haul, and sensitive analog transmission systems.
• Eye Safety Design
  The internal shutter mechanism blocks the laser signal when the connector is removed, helping to prevent accidental eye exposure during maintenance.
• Durable 3mm Jacket
  The robust 3mm outer jacket offers increased crush resistance and protection against handling stresses in rack-mount environments.
• Precision Singlemode Fiber
  Utilizes 9/125 micron fiber, optimized for standard singlemode wavelengths to ensure low insertion loss and consistent performance.
• Factory Terminated
  Precision-controlled factory termination ensures consistent optical performance compared to field-terminated solutions.

Applications

• Data Centers and Server Rooms
• High-Power Optical Networks
• Telecommunications Infrastructure
• Video Distribution Systems
• Optical Testing and Monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the APC polish signify?
APC (Angled Physical Contact) is a connector polish with an 8-degree angle, which significantly reduces back-reflection (return loss) compared to standard UPC connectors.

Why is the E2000 connector considered secure?
It includes a retractable dust cap and shutter that automatically closes when the connector is pulled out of the adapter, preventing both physical contamination and direct laser exposure.

Can this be used with standard LC adapters?
No, E2000 connectors are specific to E2000 mating adapters and are not compatible with LC, SC, or ST ports.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This is an indoor-rated patch cord; for outdoor or harsh environment applications, specialized outdoor-rated cabling is recommended.

Does this cable include a warranty?
Please consult the manufacturer documentation provided with the product for specific warranty terms.
