Overview
The FiberXP LC/UPC to LC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a precision-engineered simplex cable designed for high-performance optical networking. It is ideal for critical signal transmission where minimal signal degradation is required, such as in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise network environments.
Constructed with a durable 2.0mm PVC jacket, this patch cable ensures protection for the internal fiber strand while maintaining flexibility for installation in dense cable management systems. Each cable is 100% optically tested to ensure consistent performance, with documented test data included to verify quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UPC and APC connectors on this cable?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors are polished for low back reflection, while APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors are polished at an 8-degree angle to drastically reduce back reflection, essential for specific high-bandwidth applications.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable features a PVC jacket intended for indoor applications and should not be used in exposed outdoor environments.
Does this cable come with test documentation?
Yes, actual optical test data is included with the patch cord to verify its performance.
Can I use this for high-speed fiber networks?
Yes, as a single mode patch cable, it is designed to support the requirements of modern high-speed optical network systems.
What does simplex mean?
Simplex indicates that the cable contains only one fiber strand, designed for one-way data communication.
