Overview
The FiberXP® LC/APC to SC/UPC single-mode fiber optic patch cable is a high-precision simplex jumper designed for reliable signal transmission in space-constrained network environments. Engineered with bend-insensitive fiber, this cable maintains signal integrity even when routed through tight bends or complex cable management pathways.
This patch cable features a robust 2.0mm PVC jacket, providing a balance of flexibility and protection for indoor applications. Each cable is 100% optically tested to ensure performance, with every unit including its specific test data to confirm compliance with rigorous network standards.
Key Features
-
Bend-Insensitive Fiber

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for high-density patching?
Yes, the bend-insensitive fiber allows for tighter routing without risking the significant signal degradation found in standard single-mode fibers.
What does the <0.3dB insertion loss mean?
It indicates the amount of light power lost at the connection points, confirming a high-quality, low-loss connection.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This cable is designed with a PVC jacket, which is intended for indoor environmental use. Please ensure it is protected from direct UV exposure and extreme temperatures.
What is the difference between APC and UPC connectors?
LC/APC connectors have an angle-polished face to reduce back-reflection, while the SC/UPC connector has an ultra-polished flat face.
Does it come with test data?
Yes, each patch cord is supplied with its specific optical test results.
