Overview
The FiberXP SC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a high-performance duplex jumper designed for demanding network environments. Engineered with bend-insensitive fiber (ITU-T G.657.A1), this cable maintains signal integrity even in tight spaces, featuring a minimum bending radius of 10 mm.
Constructed with a durable 2.8mm PVC jacket, this cable is suitable for standard indoor patching applications. Each assembly is 100% optically tested to ensure consistent connectivity, meeting rigorous standards for insertion and return loss in critical fiber optic infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of bend-insensitive fiber?
It allows the cable to be routed in tighter spaces with smaller bend radii without experiencing significant signal degradation.
Are these cables suitable for high-speed networks?
Yes, the single mode design and low insertion loss make them ideal for high-speed telecommunications and data center links.
What does the "APC" in the connector name mean?
APC stands for Angle-Polished Connector, which uses an 8-degree angle to minimize back-reflection and improve signal return loss performance.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This cable is designed with a PVC jacket, which is typically intended for indoor use.
Are these cables tested?
Yes, every unit is 100% optically tested for insertion and return loss before factory shipment.
