Overview
The FiberXP SC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a high-precision duplex jumper designed for reliable signal transmission. This cable utilizes bend-insensitive fiber technology compliant with the ITU-T G.657.A1 standard, featuring a minimum bending radius of 10 mm to support installation in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity.
Constructed with a 2.8 mm PVC jacket, this duplex patch cable is engineered for durability and longevity in standard operating environments. It is factory-terminated with SC angle-polished (APC) connectors to ensure low back reflection and optimized performance in demanding network applications.
Key Features
-
Bend-Insensitive Fiber
Compliant with ITU-T G.657.A1, allowing for a 10 mm minimum bending radius to prevent signal loss in confined cabling routes. -
Duplex Configuration
Features a two-fiber design suitable for bidirectional data communication. -
APC Polishing
SC/APC connectors provide high-quality physical contact with superior back reflection performance. -
Factory Tested
100% optically tested for insertion and return loss to ensure consistent performance upon installation. -
Standard Jacket
Robust 2.8 mm PVC outer jacket provides essential protection for the internal fiber strands. -
High Return Loss
Exceeds 65 dB return loss, minimizing signal interference and back reflectance in high-speed networks.
