Overview
This duplex fiber optic patch cable is designed for high-performance singlemode network applications. It utilizes industry-standard LC to LC connectors with a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish to ensure low signal loss and high return loss, providing a stable connection for critical data transmissions.
Constructed with 1.6mm outer diameter cabling and featuring genuine Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, this patch cord provides excellent bend-insensitivity. This makes it an ideal solution for high-density environments, such as data centers and telecommunications equipment, where tight cable routing and space management are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does UPC polish mean?
UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact. It is a type of connector end-face polish that results in a domed surface, improving the physical contact between fiber cores and reducing back reflection compared to standard PC connectors.
Is this fiber bend-insensitive?
Yes, this cable is constructed using Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, which is specifically designed to be bend-insensitive, allowing it to withstand tighter bends with minimal signal loss.
What is the cable outer diameter?
The cable has an outer diameter of 1.6mm.
Is this cable singlemode or multimode?
This is a singlemode (SM) cable.
Can I use this in high-density fiber racks?
Yes, the 1.6mm duplex construction makes it well-suited for high-density environments where space is limited.
