Overview
The FiberXP® LC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex-style assembly designed for high-precision optical connectivity. It is engineered with a 2.0mm PVC jacket to provide a balance of flexibility and protection during installation in network cabinets or patch panels.
Each cable is factory-terminated with high-quality angle-polished (APC) connectors, ensuring minimal back reflection for sensitive signal transmission. The assembly is 100% optically tested to verify insertion loss and reflectance performance, making it suitable for telecommunications and data center environments where signal integrity is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between APC and UPC?
APC (Angle Physical Contact) connectors are polished at an 8-degree angle to minimize back reflection, which is ideal for high-performance single-mode applications. UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) is a flat-ish polish.
Can I use this cable for multi-mode fiber?
No, this is a single-mode cable. It will not work with multi-mode fiber equipment or infrastructure.
What does 'Duplex' mean?
Duplex means the cable contains two strands of fiber, allowing for simultaneous data transmission in both directions (transmit and receive).
Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this model is listed as non-TAA compliant.
What is the outer diameter of the cable?
The cable features a 2.0mm PVC jacket.
