Overview
The FiberXP SC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a high-performance duplex assembly designed for critical network applications. Engineered with bend-insensitive fiber, this cable supports a minimum bending radius of 10 mm, making it ideal for high-density environments where space is restricted and cable management is challenging.
Constructed with a durable 2.8mm PVC jacket, this duplex patch cord ensures mechanical protection for the internal fibers. It is fully compliant with ITU-T G.657.A1 standards, offering excellent signal integrity and reduced loss in tight-routing installations. Each cable is 100% optically tested to guarantee performance in mission-critical fiber networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BI mean in the product description?
BI stands for Bend-Insensitive, meaning the fiber is designed to maintain signal integrity even when bent at a smaller radius than standard single-mode fiber.
Are these cables suitable for high-density patch panels?
Yes, the bend-insensitive characteristic and 2.8mm diameter make them ideal for managing high-density fiber connections where routing space is tight.
What is the purpose of the APC polish?
The SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish is used to minimize back reflection, which is critical for high-speed network performance and reducing signal interference.
Is this cable duplex?
Yes, this is a duplex patch cable, containing two strands of fiber for bidirectional communication.
What is the operating wavelength?
As a standard single-mode patch cable, it is optimized for typical telecommunications wavelengths (1310nm / 1550nm).
