Overview
The FiberXP® SC/APC to LC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex, bend-insensitive fiber jumper designed for high-density network applications. Its construction utilizes a 2.0mm PVC jacket, providing a balance of flexibility and protection for sensitive internal routing.
This patch cable is optimized for single mode environments, featuring angle-polished (APC) connectors that minimize back reflections. The cable is 100% optically tested to ensure consistent signal integrity, making it suitable for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure where precision performance is required.
Key Features
-
Bend Insensitive Fiber
Designed to maintain performance even when subjected to tighter cable radii, reducing signal loss. -
APC Connector Polish
The 8-degree angle polish on the ferrules provides a return loss greater than 65dB, ideal for high-performance networks. -
Simplex Configuration
Single-fiber design simplifies management in patch panels and cross-connect systems. -
Low Insertion Loss
Engineered to deliver an insertion loss of less than 0.3dB, supporting efficient power budgets. -
PVC Jacket Material
Durable 2.0mm outer sheath protects internal fibers from physical handling in typical indoor environments. -
Verified Testing
Each cable is individually tested, with performance documentation included to verify compliance with standards.
Applications
- FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks
- Data center cross-connects
- Telecommunications distribution
- Enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure
- Passive Optical Networks (PON)

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Bend Insensitive" mean?
Bend insensitive fiber is manufactured to reduce signal loss significantly when the cable is bent or coiled, making it easier to install in tight spaces.
Are these cables suitable for outdoor use?
No, these are standard indoor patch cables with a PVC jacket, not rated for harsh outdoor or direct burial conditions.
Why use APC connectors instead of UPC?
Angle Polished Connectors (APC) are used in applications requiring high return loss (low reflectance) to prevent backscatter from disrupting sensitive laser equipment.
Does this cable include test results?
Yes, each individual cable has been optically tested and includes specific test data results.
Can I use this for high-speed data transmission?
Yes, these single mode cables are designed to support high-speed, long-distance data transmission in professional network environments.
