Overview
The FiberXP FC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex fiber optic assembly designed for high-precision network connections. This patch cable is engineered to ensure low signal degradation, making it suitable for applications requiring minimal insertion loss and high return loss performance.
Constructed with a 2.8mm PVC jacket, this cable provides essential protection for the internal fiber strand in standard indoor operating environments. Each cable is 100% optically tested to verify compliance with performance standards, providing a stable, reliable connection for network patching and equipment integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean in the connector description?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector ferrules are polished at an angle (typically 8 degrees) to reduce back reflection, which is critical for high-performance single mode systems.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this specific part number is listed as Non-TAA Compliant.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This cable is designed with a standard PVC jacket, which is generally intended for indoor or protected environment use, not direct outdoor exposure.
What is the difference between Simplex and Duplex?
Simplex cables consist of a single fiber strand for one-way signal transmission, whereas duplex cables consist of two strands for two-way communication.
Does the cable come tested?
Yes, FiberXP products are 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection before shipment.
