Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UPC and APC connectors?
APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors are polished at an 8-degree angle, significantly reducing back reflection compared to the flat polish of UPC connectors, which is essential for sensitive optical networks.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket and is designed for indoor use. For outdoor environments, cables with UV-rated or armored jackets are typically required.
Is this a simplex or duplex cable?
This is a simplex cable, meaning it contains a single fiber strand for transmission.
What does the 2m length refer to?
The length refers to the total tip-to-tip distance of the patch cable, including the connectors.
Are these connectors compatible with standard LC and SC ports?
Yes, they fit standard LC and SC adapter ports, but ensure you are mating them with compatible APC (green-coded) adapters to maintain the angle-polished integrity.
