Overview
The FiberXP LC/APC to LC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex, precision-manufactured cable designed for high-performance optical networking. Featuring an angle-polished (APC) connector finish, this cable is engineered to minimize back reflection in sensitive optical systems.
The cable is constructed with a durable 2.0mm PVC jacket, making it suitable for standard indoor data center and enterprise environments. Each unit is individually tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure consistency and reliable optical integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LC/APC mean?
LC is the small form factor connector type. APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which is a connector polish technique that reduces back reflection (return loss) for better performance in sensitive systems.
Can I use this for high-speed data transmission?
Yes, this single mode patch cable is designed for high-bandwidth telecommunications and data center applications.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this specific model is non-TAA compliant.
What is the purpose of a simplex cable?
Simplex cables contain a single fiber strand, typically used for applications requiring one-way communication or where dedicated transmit/receive fibers are used independently.
Is the connector finish compatible with standard LC ports?
While the connector fits standard LC adapter ports, ensure that your equipment specifically requires an APC connection to avoid potential damage or performance issues with mismatched polishes.
