Overview
The FiberXP® LC/APC to LC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a high-precision duplex patch cord designed for reliable signal transmission in telecommunications and enterprise networking environments. This cable utilizes angle-polished connectors, which are engineered to minimize back reflection and optimize return loss performance, making it suitable for sensitive optical equipment.
Constructed with a durable 2.0mm PVC jacket, this duplex patch cable is designed to provide protection for the internal optical fibers during installation and routine handling. Every cable is 100% optically tested to ensure consistent insertion loss and back reflection standards, providing a dependable connection for critical data center or campus backbone applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LC/APC mean?
LC refers to the small form factor connector type. APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which features an 8-degree angle polish to minimize light reflection (back reflection) at the connection point.
Is this cable compatible with standard LC/UPC equipment?
No. APC connectors are not physically compatible with UPC (flat polish) connectors and should only be mated with other APC connectors to prevent damage to the ferrule surfaces.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor applications. It should not be used in outdoor environments without appropriate conduit or protective housing.
What does duplex mean?
Duplex indicates the cable contains two fiber strands, allowing for separate transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) paths in a single cable assembly.
Is the length customizable?
This product is supplied as a pre-terminated 3-meter assembly. Other lengths are available as separate part numbers.
