General
Connector type	FC/PC

This product is a multimode test cable from Softing IT Networks, designed as an FC simplex cable with a length of 2 metres. It is specifically intended for measurement and test applications in the field of optical data transmission, particularly for testing and analysing fibre optic networks. The cable features FC/PC connectors at both ends, enabling a secure and precise connection. The connector design is optimised for high mechanical stability and low optical reflection, which is crucial for accurate measurement results.

Multimode fibres allow the simultaneous transmission of multiple light modes, making them suitable for short to medium transmission distances, especially in local area networks (LAN) or building cabling. The use of FC/PC connectors ensures a standardised, rotatable and pivotable connection, commonly used in professional environments. The PC surface polish provides a smooth, flat surface at the fibre end, minimising reflections and enhancing signal quality.

Test cables are typically used to connect measurement devices to fibre optic networks in order to check parameters such as attenuation, reflection, or overall link performance. The cable is configured as simplex, meaning it contains only one fibre core and is therefore designed for unidirectional transmission. This is typical for applications where a single data channel is sufficient, such as diagnosing faults in an existing connection.

The length of 2 metres provides sufficient flexibility for connecting a measurement device to the section of network under test, without using unnecessarily long cables that could complicate handling or introduce additional attenuation. The cable construction is designed for use in laboratory and workshop environments, where high reliability and repeatability of measurement results are required.

The use of this cable requires no additional components, as it is designed as standalone test accessory. It is not intended for permanent network cabling, but exclusively for test and diagnostic purposes. The connector is designed for repeated assembly and disassembly, with mechanical durability ensured by the FC connector design.

The cable type is order-specific and non-cancellable, meaning that the order cannot be cancelled once the order has been processed. This is typical for specific, custom or non-standardised products manufactured to order.

Note: No additional components are included in the delivery scope.
