FiberXP FC/APC-SC/APC Single Mode Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, 2m

Overview

The FiberXP® FC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex, precision-manufactured assembly designed for high-performance optical networking environments. It is built to maintain signal integrity in telecommunications and data transmission systems requiring precise angle-polished connections.

Constructed with a 2.8mm protective PVC jacket, this cable is designed to withstand standard indoor operating environments while providing the flexibility needed for routing within enclosures and racks. Each cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure compliance with stringent performance standards.

Key Features

• Angle-Polished Connectors (APC)
  Features both FC/APC and SC/APC connectors to minimize back reflection and optimize return loss.
• Simplex Design
  Single-strand configuration suitable for unidirectional transmission applications.
• 2.8mm PVC Jacket
  Durable outer protective layer designed for standard cabling environments.
• 100% Optically Tested
  Every unit is verified for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure consistent connectivity.
• Single Mode Fiber
  Optimized for long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission.
• Standard 2-Meter Length
  Pre-terminated length provides consistent performance for typical cross-connect applications.

Applications

• Telecommunications networks

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) installations
• Optical test equipment interfacing
• CATV systems

Technical Specifications

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 8-degree angle to significantly reduce back reflection (return loss) compared to standard PC/UPC connectors.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor applications. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight or harsh outdoor elements.

Can I use this with standard SC connectors?
No, this cable uses SC/APC (angled) connectors. Mixing APC connectors with standard UPC connectors can cause physical damage and high signal loss.

What is the primary advantage of single mode fiber?
Single mode fiber supports higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances by allowing only one mode of light to propagate, minimizing modal dispersion.

Does this cable come factory tested?
Yes, every unit is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure reliable performance upon installation.
