Overview
The FiberXP® LC to SC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a high-performance, duplex-style assembly designed for reliable network connectivity. Engineered for demanding environments, this patch cable utilizes bend-insensitive fiber (ITU-T G.657.A1) which allows for a minimum bending radius of 10 mm, significantly reducing the risk of signal attenuation caused by tight cable bends in congested racks or trays.
This cable is constructed with a durable 2.0mm PVC jacket, ensuring longevity and protection in various indoor network deployments. Every unit is factory-tested to ensure optical integrity, making it an ideal choice for data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise network installations where signal reliability is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BI mean in the product name?
BI stands for Bend Insensitive. These cables are designed to maintain optical performance even when subjected to tighter bend radii than standard fiber.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is constructed with a PVC jacket, which is generally intended for indoor deployment.
What is the difference between UPC and APC?
This cable uses UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors, which feature a flat end-face polish. APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors have an 8-degree angle to further reduce back reflection.
Can I use this for high-speed data transmission?
Yes, this single mode patch cable is suitable for high-speed telecommunications and data center environments.
Is this cable compliant with TAA regulations?
No, this specific part number is marked as non-TAA compliant.
