What fiber mode is this product designed for?

This product supports single-mode fiber, as indicated in the model specification. Verify the mode type against your existing fiber infrastructure before ordering.

Is this suitable for long-distance telecommunications installations?

Single-mode products support long-distance FTTX, telecommunications, and WAN links across the GCC, while multimode is optimized for shorter campus and data center runs. Procure.ae can help match the right product to your distance requirements.

What insertion loss can we expect from this adapter or pigtail?

Products in this range are engineered to minimize insertion loss (typically under 0.3 dB) and ensure reliable signal transmission. Exact specs are available upon request with Procure.ae.

Can we use this fiber component in aerial or underground installations?

Yes, fiber adapters and pigtails are designed for both aerial and underground applications, with proper cable management and protection. Confirm environmental ratings with Procure.ae for your deployment site.

How do polishing types (UPC vs. APC) affect our network performance?

UPC endfaces offer standard performance for most LAN and telecom applications, while APC angles reduce return loss for long-distance or high-precision systems. Choose based on your system design or consult Procure.ae.

Is this component compatible with existing fiber patch panels and termination equipment?

Avalon fiber adapters and pigtails meet ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA standards for compatibility. Cross-check your panel's LC or SC interface and fiber mode (SM/MM) before purchase; Procure.ae can verify compatibility.

Avalon LC APC 1 Metre Singlemode Fiber Pigtail

Name: Avalon LC APC 1 Metre Singlemode Fiber Pigtail
Brand: Avalon
SKU: ANPT-SM-LC-APC-1MT

The Avalon LC APC 1-metre singlemode pigtail delivers 0.2 dB insertion loss and 65 dB minimum return loss with an angle-polished endface, meeting TIA/EIA-568-B.3 and ISO/IEC 11801. Ideal for telecommunications, LAN, WAN, CATV, and FTTX installations across the UAE and GCC.

Overview

The Avalon ANPT-SM-LC-APC-1MT is a 1-metre singlemode LC APC fiber optic pigtail manufactured with an 8 or 9 degree angle-polished connector face and a radius of curvature between 5 mm and 12 mm. The angled physical contact (APC) polish achieves a minimum return loss of 65 dB, making it the preferred choice for applications sensitive to back-reflections such as CATV, FTTX, and high-bandwidth telecommunications links. With a typical insertion loss of 0.2 dB per connection and full compliance with international standards, these pigtails deliver consistent performance in professional network installations.

FAQ

What is the difference between APC and UPC polished connectors?
APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors have an 8-degree polished face that deflects back-reflections away from the fiber core, achieving return loss of 65 dB or better. UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors have a flat endface and typically achieve 50 dB return loss. APC is preferred for analog and long-haul applications such as CATV and FTTX.

Is this pigtail compatible with standard LC adaptor panels?
Yes. The LC APC connector mates with any standard LC APC adaptor. Note that LC APC connectors should not be mated with LC UPC adaptors as this can damage the connector endface and degrade performance.

What fiber type does this pigtail use?
The ANPT-SM-LC-APC-1MT uses singlemode fiber compliant with OS1/OS2 specifications, suitable for long-distance telecommunications and high-bandwidth applications in FTTH, LAN, and WAN deployments.
