Overview
The FiberXP LC to SC single-mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex jumper designed for high-precision network connectivity. This cable features bend-insensitive fiber technology, compliant with the ITU-T G.657.A1 standard, allowing for a minimum bending radius of 10 mm. This makes it an ideal solution for installations in tight spaces where cable management is critical.
Constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, this duplex patch cord is designed for durability and flexibility in indoor operating environments. It is factory-terminated with LC/UPC and SC/UPC ultra-polished connectors, ensuring consistent signal transmission and minimal light loss across the connection point.
Every cable is 100% optically tested to ensure performance standards are met before shipping. This jumper provides low insertion loss and high return loss, making it suitable for data centers, telecommunications networks, and enterprise-level fiber distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does G.657.A1 compliance mean?
It indicates the fiber is bend-insensitive, which allows for sharper bends without causing significant signal loss compared to standard single-mode fibers.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This cable features a PVC jacket intended for indoor applications. It is not rated for external environmental exposure.
What is the difference between UPC and APC?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) refers to a flat polished end-face. This cable uses UPC connectors which are standard for most general network applications.
Is the length customizable?
No, this patch cable is factory-manufactured to a fixed length of 17 meters.
Does this cable include test results?
The manufacturer certifies that this product is 100% optically tested for performance parameters before shipment.
