Overview
The FiberXP LC/APC to LC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex fiber assembly designed for high-precision optical networking. Engineered for environments requiring low back reflection, this cable is terminated with angle-polished (APC) connectors to minimize signal return loss.
Each cable is constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, providing a balance of flexibility and protection for indoor cable management. The assembly is 100% optically tested to verify insertion loss and back reflection performance before shipping, ensuring compatibility with demanding telecommunications and data center applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LC/APC mean?
LC refers to the small form factor connector type, and APC refers to Angle Physical Contact, where the fiber end-face is polished at an 8-degree angle to minimize back reflection.
Can I use this for multimode applications?
No, this is a single mode patch cable and should only be used with single mode fiber systems.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor use. It is not rated for external or direct-buried environments.
What does simplex mean?
Simplex means the cable contains a single strand of fiber, designed to carry data in one direction at a time or in a single-fiber bidirectional link.
Are these cables tested?
Yes, every FiberXP patch cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection.
