Fiber Patch Cable
Hi! What is the right fiber optic patch cable that Telus uses? I found references to SC/APC, SC/UPC and SCA236 in the forums. I’m pulling some cables to the basement soon and was hoping I could ...
Telus (at least on Vancouver Island) uses Simplex SC/APC optical cables.

I use one of these. If you're doing a run in the wall, you might also want a couple of Keystones for each end. fs.com used to have them, but I can't find them anymore. I'm sure you can find them cheaper than this, I paid about $5 each
Kolby_G I use a site called (PRIME CABLES) Real good prices located in Van and quebec . Have all the ends cables and crimping tools . Also printer ink and other things. They ship free after certain $. And fast. Polecat
Prime Cables is pretty good for some cables, however, they are ridiculously expensive for some of their fiber stuff, it looks like the SC/APC cables are similar in price though. They do have an SC keystone but it's not explicitly APC. It should work, but the losses may be significant.
