FiberXP LC/APC-LC/UPC Fiber Patch Cable SM Duplex, Flex Boot 12m

Overview

The FiberXP LC/APC to LC/UPC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex cable designed for precise signal transmission in high-performance network environments. This cable features a flexible boot design to provide enhanced strain relief and cable protection in tight-space installations.

Constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, this duplex patch cable is built for durability and ease of handling during deployment. It is equipped with one LC/APC (angle-polished) connector and one LC/UPC (ultra-polished) connector, making it suitable for applications requiring specific termination types for minimized back reflection.

Each cable is factory-tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure consistent connectivity. This assembly is intended for indoor data center, enterprise, and telecommunications network applications.

Key Features

• Duplex Configuration
  Features two fiber strands for bidirectional communication within a single cable assembly.
• Flex Boot Design
  Integrated strain relief boots increase cable flexibility and prevent sharp bends at the connector interface.
• Angle-Polished (APC) Connector
  Provides an LC/APC interface to significantly reduce back reflection in sensitive optical systems.
• Ultra-Polished (UPC) Connector
  Utilizes an LC/UPC interface for low-loss connectivity in standard network equipment ports.
• Single Mode Fiber
  Optimized for long-distance signal transmission with high bandwidth capacity.
• PVC Jacket
  Standard 2.0mm PVC jacket provides a durable and protective outer layer for indoor cabling.
• Performance Tested
  Every unit undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss and back reflection before shipping.

Applications

• Data Center Interconnects
• Telecommunications Network Infrastructure
• Enterprise LAN/WAN Networks
• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Installations
• High-Density Patch Panels

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the APC connector on this cable?
The LC/APC connector features an angled end-face that minimizes back reflection, which is critical for preventing signal degradation in high-speed and sensitive optical networks.

Can this cable be used outdoors?
This cable is intended for indoor use. It features a standard PVC jacket which is not rated for direct exposure to outdoor elements or UV radiation.

What does the Flex Boot provide?
The flex boot design offers superior cable support, preventing the fiber from bending too sharply at the point where it connects to the housing, thereby extending the life of the connection.

Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this specific part number is marked as non-TAA compliant.

Are these cables tested before shipment?
Yes, each patch cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure it meets quality standards.
