Frequently Asked Questions
What does the APC polish signify?
APC (Angled Physical Contact) signifies that the fiber end-face is polished at an 8-degree angle, which significantly reduces back reflection compared to standard UPC connectors.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable features a PVC jacket intended for indoor applications. It should not be used in outdoor environments without additional conduit or protection.
Can I use this for multi-mode equipment?
No, this is a single mode patch cable and is not compatible with multi-mode fiber transceivers.
Are these cables tested before shipment?
Yes, all FiberXP patch cables are 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection.
