Overview
The FiberXP® LC/UPC to LC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex, high-precision fiber jumper designed for reliable signal transmission in networking environments. This cable features a robust 2.0mm PVC jacket, providing protection for the internal fiber against environmental stress.
Engineered for low-loss performance, this patch cable utilizes LC ultra-polished (UPC) and LC angle-polished (APC) connectors to maintain signal integrity. Every cable is factory-tested to ensure it meets strict optical requirements, making it suitable for high-speed data center interconnections, telecommunications, and enterprise network installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UPC and APC?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) uses a flat polish, whereas APC (Angled Physical Contact) uses an 8-degree angle to minimize back reflection.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, it features a PVC jacket intended for indoor environments.
Can I use this for high-speed networks?
Yes, it is designed for single mode applications common in telecommunications and high-speed data networking.
Does this cable come with test documentation?
Yes, actual test data is included with the patch cord.
Is this a multi-strand cable?
No, this is a simplex cable, meaning it contains a single fiber strand.
