FiberXP LC/APC-SC/APC Fiber Patch Cable Single Mode Duplex, 2m

Overview

The FiberXP LC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex jumper designed for high-precision optical networking. Engineered with a durable 2.0mm PVC jacket, this patch cable ensures protection and flexibility for deployment in various indoor network environments.

This cable features angle-polished (APC) connectors on both ends, which are essential for minimizing back reflection in sensitive applications. Each cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure consistent performance and signal integrity during installation.

Key Features

• Angle-Polished Connectors
  Features both LC/APC and SC/APC connectors to reduce back reflection in high-speed single mode networks.
• Duplex Configuration
  Uses a two-fiber design suitable for simultaneous transmit and receive operations.
• 2.0mm PVC Jacket
  Robust outer jacket provides protection against mechanical stress while maintaining cable flexibility.
• Optimized Testing
  Every cable is factory-tested for insertion loss and return loss to guarantee specified optical standards.
• Standard 2m Length
  Ideal for connecting equipment within racks or patching between distribution frames.
• High-Quality Ferrules
  Ensures precise fiber alignment for reduced connection signal degradation.

Applications

• Data center cross-connects
• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network drops
• Telecommunications distribution frames
• Optical test equipment connections
• LAN and WAN network infrastructure

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does APC mean?
APC stands for Angle Polished Connector. It features an 8-degree angle polish on the fiber end-face, which significantly reduces back reflection compared to standard flat or UPC polishes.

Is this cable compatible with standard LC/UPC equipment?
No. APC connectors are not physically compatible with UPC or flat-polished connectors. Mating them can cause permanent damage to the fiber end-faces.

What is the purpose of a duplex cable?
A duplex cable contains two strands of fiber, allowing for bidirectional communication (one fiber to transmit and one to receive) in a single cable assembly.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor environments. It is not rated for direct burial or outdoor exposure without additional conduit protection.

Does this cable meet TAA compliance?
No, this specific part is noted as non-TAA compliant.
