N132.LCALCA5A2PVxy

The GalaxLite Duplex Patch Cord, featuring LC/APC to LC/APC connectors, is designed for high-performance single-mode fiber optic networks requiring low back reflection and high transmission efficiency. Constructed with G.657A2 bend-insensitive fiber, it offers superior flexibility and minimal signal loss, making it ideal for tight-space installations, high-density data centers, FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home), and telecommunications networks. The angled physical contact (APC) connectors ensure ultra-low return loss, making it suitable for high-precision optical transmission systems. The PVC sheath and OFNR-rated construction guarantee reliable and fire-safe deployment in riser environments.
