FiberXP FC/APC-FC/APC Fiber Patch Cable Single Mode Simplex, 10m

Overview

The FiberXP FC/APC to FC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex patch cord designed for precise signal transmission. It is constructed with a 2.8mm PVC outer jacket, providing protection for the internal fiber.

This patch cable features angle-polished (APC) connectors at both ends, which are optimized to minimize back reflection in sensitive optical networks. Each cable is factory-tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure performance consistency in field installations.

Key Features

• Angle-Polished Connectors (APC)
  Features FC/APC connectors on both ends to significantly reduce back reflection and improve signal integrity.
• Simplex Configuration
  Single-fiber design suitable for dedicated one-way data transmission paths.
• Single Mode Fiber
  Optimized for long-distance signal transmission with minimal attenuation.
• Protective PVC Jacket
  Durable 2.8mm PVC outer sheath provides physical protection during routing and installation.
• Factory Tested
  Every cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure reliable network deployment.
• Standard Length
  10-meter cable length provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections.

Applications

• Telecommunications networks
• Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH)
• CATV systems
• Data centers
• Optical test equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the APC connector type mean?
APC stands for Angle-Polished Connector. The end face of the fiber is polished at an 8-degree angle, which causes reflected light to be directed into the cladding rather than back toward the source, resulting in lower back reflection.

Is this cable suitable for bidirectional communication?
No, this is a simplex cable containing a single fiber, intended for one-way signal transmission. For bidirectional communication, you would typically use two simplex cables or one duplex cable.

Can I use this for outdoor applications?
The cable is equipped with a PVC jacket, which is generally intended for indoor use. It is not rated for harsh outdoor environments or direct sunlight exposure.

Are these cables tested before shipping?
Yes, each patch cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure it meets specifications before reaching the customer.

What is the primary use of FC connectors?
FC connectors are typically used in environments where vibration is a concern, as they feature a threaded coupling mechanism that provides a secure, permanent connection.
