Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM Overview

The Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM is a single-mode fiber termination component designed for connecting optical fiber cables to compatible SC/APC equipment. It has a factory-installed SC/APC connector on one end, while the other end is intended for splicing to the main fiber cable.

With a 2-meter length and single-mode construction, the pigtail is suitable for FTTH installations, ISP networks, telecommunications infrastructure, optical distribution frames and fiber patch panels. Kenyan listings identify the LW-PT-SCA-SM as a Lightwave SC/APC single-mode 2-meter fiber pigtail.

Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM Specifications

Exact optical specifications such as attenuation, return loss, fiber standard and cable diameter can vary by Lightwave production variant, so the supplied product specification should be checked where precise installation values are required.

Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM Performance

• Single-mode construction is suitable for long-distance optical communication.

• SC/APC termination helps minimize reflected optical signals.

• The 2-meter length provides useful routing flexibility inside splice trays and optical distribution equipment.

• Factory-installed termination provides consistent connector alignment.

• Designed for use in fiber networks where SC/APC connectivity is required.

• Proper splicing and connector cleanliness are important for maintaining low optical loss.

• Performance depends on the connected optical equipment, fiber quality, splice quality and installation conditions.

Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM Design and Build

• Compact pigtail construction makes it suitable for installation inside ODFs, splice trays and fiber patch panels.

• SC connector housing provides a robust push-pull connection design.

• APC polishing uses an angled fiber end-face to reduce optical back reflection.

• The 2-meter cable provides sufficient length for routing and positioning inside fiber-management equipment.

• One end is factory terminated while the other end is prepared for splicing.

• The protective fiber jacket helps safeguard the optical fiber during normal installation and routing.

Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM Connectivity and Compatibility

• Uses an SC/APC connector on one end.

• Designed for compatible single-mode fiber systems.

• Can be spliced to incoming single-mode fiber cables.

• Suitable for SC/APC adapters, optical distribution frames and compatible fiber patch panels.

• Supports FTTH, ISP, telecom and enterprise fiber infrastructure.

• The connector polish should match the connected equipment; SC/APC should not automatically be treated as interchangeable with SC/UPC.

• Suitable splicing equipment and fiber protection accessories may be required during installation.

Lightwave Fiber Pigtail SC APC Single Mode 2M-LW-PT-SCA-SM FAQs

What connector does the Lightwave LW-PT-SCA-SM use?

• It uses an SC/APC connector on the terminated end. 

Is the LW-PT-SCA-SM a single-mode fiber pigtail?

• Yes. It is a single-mode fiber pigtail designed for compatible optical networks.

How long is the Lightwave LW-PT-SCA-SM?

• The listed cable length is 2 meters. 

What does APC mean in fiber optics?

• APC means Angled Physical Contact. The connector end-face is polished at an angle to help reduce optical back reflection.

Is this a fiber patch cord?

• No. It is a fiber pigtail. One end has a factory-installed connector while the other end is normally left unconnectorized for splicing.

Can the LW-PT-SCA-SM be used for FTTH?

• Yes. Its SC/APC single-mode configuration makes it suitable for compatible FTTH and ISP fiber installations.

Where can the Lightwave LW-PT-SCA-SM be installed?

• It can be used in ODFs, splice trays, fiber patch panels, telecom installations, ISP networks and other compatible single-mode fiber infrastructure.

Can SC/APC be connected to SC/UPC?

• Although both use the SC connector format, APC and UPC have different polishing geometries. They should be matched according to the optical network design and equipment requirements.

What is the price of the Lightwave LW-PT-SCA-SM in Kenya?

• Based on the supplied price of KSh 400, the listed Kenya price range is KSh 400 – KSh 5,400.
