FiberXP LC/APC-SC SM Bend Insensitive Fiber Patch Cable, 1m

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
  Minimizes signal attenuation caused by tight bends, ensuring stable connectivity in high-density installations.
• LC/APC Connector
  Provides an angle-polished interface for superior return loss, ideal for sensitive high-speed applications.
• SC/UPC Connector
  Features an ultra-polished finish to maintain high connection reliability across standard fiber interfaces.
• Simplex Construction
  Efficient single-strand design suitable for dedicated transmit or receive paths in fiber networks.
• Factory Tested
  Each cable is individually tested for insertion and return loss, ensuring consistent quality for every deployment.
• Standard 2.0mm Jacket
  Utilizes a durable PVC outer sheath that provides protection while maintaining cable manageability.

Applications

• Data center interconnections
• Telecommunications networks
• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) installations
• Local Area Network (LAN) cabling
• High-speed backplane connectivity

Technical Specifications

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.
