Overview
The FiberXP LC/APC to FC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex fiber interconnect solution designed for high-precision optical networks. This cable is engineered to provide stable signal transmission for applications requiring angle-polished connections to minimize back reflection.
Constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, this patch cable is built for durability in standard telecommunication and data center environments. Every cable is factory-tested for both insertion loss and back reflection to ensure performance consistency during installation and operation.
Key Features
-
Angle-Polished Connectors (APC)
Features both LC/APC and FC/APC connectors to significantly reduce back reflection, enhancing signal integrity. -
Simplex Design
Single-fiber construction ideal for dedicated transmit or receive paths in optical communication links. -
Rigorous Testing
Each unit is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to guarantee baseline performance. -
Durable Jacket
Equipped with a 2.0mm PVC outer jacket for physical protection of the internal glass fiber. -
Standard 3m Length
Provides sufficient slack for patch panels and equipment rack management. -
High Compatibility
Standard LC and FC interfaces ensure broad interoperability with existing fiber infrastructure.
Applications
- Telecommunications infrastructure
- Data center cross-connects
- Optical testing and measurement setups
- FTTH (Fiber to the Home) deployments

Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector ferrule is polished at an 8-degree angle to minimize back reflections (return loss) in the fiber link.
Is this cable compatible with UPC connectors?
No, APC connectors are not physically compatible with UPC (flat) connectors. Connecting them can damage the fiber end-faces.
Is this a simplex or duplex cable?
This is a simplex cable containing a single strand of fiber.
Can this cable be used for outdoor applications?
No, this cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor use only.
How is this cable tested?
Every cable is 100% factory-tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure it meets optical performance standards.
