UF technology is wrong type one

They do not have the APC polish kind (green connector).

LC isnt correct. It is SC type leh

TS one is nearly correct, but the blue connector indicates it is not APC polish

Should be green, like the following

In case you are wondering why should be APC polish - I still have the box for the Opennet TP, and it clearly states APC type. Fibre cable from Singtel also has a green connector.

Only thing I am not sure about is if 9/125 is ok, since the Singtel cable is 10/125 and some say all single mode can be regarded as the same, but others say using a smaller diameter cable will cause some signal loss.



Got this one place I am going to try opposite Sim Lim tower tomorrow, and see if they have APC polish kind.

Is the same, just the connector color is different. It do not have to be green, it can be any color (ie they are all APC polish). But the cable is normally yellow to indicate this is a single mode cable. (laser)

BTW, I bought a duplex 100ft. But ONT use only single connector. So I can sell the other half for $25.

This is single mode, single connector (use by ONT). Not duplex.
Usually, for computer equipment. They use a duplex connector (one for transmitt and one for receive). But ONT use one cable for transmitt and recived (so is half duplex).

Yes when i buy it ...it also comes in a pair and i paid 50 for both and one cost 25 SGD.

Thanks for the clarification. So u r using the same cable on your ONT ?

Green is a convention to distinguish APC polish from the others, since you can use other polishes together with less consequences, but not APC. I don't know where you got your cable from, but are you 100% sure it is APC?

I spoke to one of the staff on the phone, and he said they can also do APC. Waiting for him to reply my email, since he was driving when I called.

Yes it is APC. Dont have to worry and it works fine. Take you green housing APC out and inspect. It is just a housing. The color changed depending on which making make it.

BTW,
"Single mode fiber optic cables can be with PC, UPC or APC polished connectors, while multimode there is no APC ones."

The fibre cable itself is the same.
