Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean in this context?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which means the connector ferrule is polished at an 8-degree angle to minimize back reflection.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, the cable utilizes a PVC jacket intended for indoor applications.
Are these cables tested before shipping?
Yes, every unit is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection.
Can I use this with standard PC/UPC connectors?
APC connectors are generally not compatible with UPC or PC connectors; mating them can damage the ferrules and cause high signal loss.
Is this a simplex or duplex cable?
This is a simplex cable containing a single strand of fiber.
