Overview
The FiberXP® FC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex assembly designed for precision optical connectivity. Engineered for demanding network environments, this cable ensures accurate signal transmission through its high-quality components and termination.
This simplex patch cable features a 2.8mm PVC jacket, providing a balance between durability and flexibility for routing within patch panels, equipment racks, or localized network distribution points. The inclusion of APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on both ends effectively minimizes back reflection, making it well-suited for sensitive high-speed optical applications.
Every cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure consistent performance upon deployment. The 3-meter length provides reach for standard equipment interconnections in data centers or telecommunications facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean in the connector type?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector end-face is polished at an angle to prevent back reflection, which is critical for high-return-loss requirements.
Is this cable suitable for use with multi-mode equipment?
No, this is a single mode patch cable and should not be used with multi-mode transceivers or cabling.
Are these cables tested before shipping?
Yes, every unit is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor or protected environments. It is not rated for direct burial or harsh outdoor exposure.
What is the difference between Simplex and Duplex?
Simplex uses a single strand of fiber, whereas duplex uses two. This product is a simplex cable.
