Overview
The FiberXP® LC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex fiber patch cable designed for high-precision network connectivity. Engineered for demanding environments, this cable ensures signal integrity through the use of angle-polished connectors, which minimize back reflection in sensitive optical systems.
Constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, this duplex patch cable provides robust protection for the internal fibers while maintaining flexibility for routing in data centers or telecommunications equipment. Each unit is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure performance consistency upon installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean for these connectors?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which signifies that the fiber end-face is polished at an 8-degree angle to significantly reduce back reflection compared to standard flat polishes.
Can I use this cable for multimedia applications?
No, this is a single mode cable designed specifically for single mode networking equipment and is not compatible with multimode optical systems.
Is the jacket material suitable for plenum spaces?
This cable uses a standard PVC jacket; it is not rated for plenum (CMP) installations.
Are these cables tested before shipping?
Yes, every patch cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure compliance with quality standards.
Does this cable support 10G speeds?
Yes, as a single mode patch cable, it is designed to support high-speed data transmission, including 10G and higher, depending on the transceiver module used.
