Overview
The FiberXP LC/APC to FC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a professional-grade simplex assembly designed for precision optical connectivity. Engineered for demanding network environments, this cable utilizes high-quality components to ensure consistent performance in data center and telecommunications applications.
Constructed with a durable 2.0mm PVC jacket, this patch cable is built to withstand routine handling during installation. Featuring angle-polished (APC) LC and FC connectors, the assembly is specifically designed to minimize back reflection in sensitive optical systems. Each unit is individually tested for insertion loss and back reflection to verify adherence to quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the APC designation mean for these connectors?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The ferrule end-face is polished at an 8-degree angle to reduce back-reflection (return loss) compared to standard flat or UPC connectors.
Is this cable compatible with standard LC or FC ports?
This cable uses APC connectors. It should only be mated with equipment or adapters specifically designed for APC interfaces. Mating APC to UPC connectors can damage the fiber end-faces.
What is the primary benefit of a simplex cable?
A simplex cable contains a single strand of fiber, making it ideal for applications requiring a dedicated unidirectional transmission path.
Does this cable include a test report?
While each cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection at the factory, individual serialized test reports are not included with the package.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor or protected environment use. It is not rated for direct burial or harsh outdoor weather exposure.
