Frequently Asked Questions
What does the "Duplex" designation mean?
Duplex indicates that the cable contains two fiber strands, which are required for full-duplex communication where data is sent and received simultaneously.
What is the difference between UPC and APC connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors are polished at a flat angle, whereas APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors are polished at an 8-degree angle to further reduce back reflection.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. The PVC jacket is not rated for exposure to environmental conditions or direct sunlight.
Can I use this for high-density patching?
Yes, the LC connector interface is specifically designed for high-density environments where space is limited.
What does 100% optically tested mean?
It means every individual patch cable is tested at the factory for insertion loss and return loss before shipment to ensure it meets performance specifications.
