Overview
The FiberXP LC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex assembly designed for precision optical connectivity. Engineered for environments requiring high-precision signaling, this cable utilizes angle-polished connectors to minimize back reflection in sensitive network applications.
Constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, this cable provides essential durability and flexibility for routing within patch panels, equipment racks, and data center environments. Each cable is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure consistent performance and signal integrity for network engineers and fiber technicians.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean in the connector type?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which means the ferrule end face is polished at an 8-degree angle to reduce reflected light, essential for high-performance single mode systems.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable features a standard PVC jacket intended for indoor applications such as data centers or equipment rooms.
Can I use this for duplex applications?
No, this is a simplex cable containing only one fiber strand. For duplex requirements, a dual-fiber cable is necessary.
What is the primary advantage of testing for back reflection?
Minimizing back reflection ensures that signal return loss is low, preventing potential interference or signal degradation in sensitive optical devices.
Are these cables TAA compliant?
No, this product is documented as Non-TAA Compliant.
