Overview
The FiberXP LC to SC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex, bend-insensitive jumper designed for efficient signal transmission in confined spaces. Built to ITU-T G.657.A1 standards, it features a minimum bending radius of 10 mm, making it suitable for high-density environments where cable routing is restricted.
Constructed with a 2.0mm PVC jacket, this cable incorporates LC/UPC and SC/UPC connectors that have been ultra-polished for consistent connectivity. Each unit is 100% optically tested to ensure performance integrity for data center, enterprise network, and telecommunications infrastructure applications.
Key Features
-
Bend-Insensitive Fiber
Features a 10 mm minimum bending radius, reducing signal loss when routed through tight corners or crowded enclosures. -
LC to SC Configuration
Equipped with industry-standard LC/UPC and SC/UPC connectors for broad cross-compatibility with patch panels and network equipment. -
Single Mode Performance
Optimized for single mode transmission, supporting high-speed data transfer over longer distances. -
Low Insertion Loss
Maintains an insertion loss of <0.3 dB, ensuring high signal strength throughout the connection. -
High Return Loss
Provides a return loss of >55 dB, minimizing back-reflections that can interfere with sensitive optical systems. -
2.0mm PVC Jacket
Designed with a durable 2.0mm outer sheath for protection in indoor installation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "bend insensitive" mean for this cable?
Bend-insensitive fiber (BIF) is engineered to maintain low signal attenuation even when the cable is tightly coiled or bent, reducing the risk of fiber breakage or data loss in crowded spaces.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed with a PVC jacket intended for indoor environmental use. Please consult building codes for plenum-rated requirements.
What are the polish types on these connectors?
The cable uses UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polished connectors, which provide better return loss than standard PC-polished connectors.
Can I use this for high-speed data transmission?
Yes, as a single mode fiber cable, it is suitable for high-bandwidth, high-speed data applications over longer distances typical of telecommunications and enterprise networking.
Are these cables tested before shipping?
Yes, each FiberXP patch cable is 100% optically tested to ensure compliance with the stated insertion and return loss specifications.
