Frequently Asked Questions
What does the APC designation mean?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector end-face is polished at an 8-degree angle to significantly reduce back reflection (return loss) compared to standard UPC connectors.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features a PVC jacket intended for indoor applications. It is not rated for direct burial or outdoor environmental exposure.
What is the purpose of a duplex cable?
A duplex cable contains two strands of fiber, allowing for simultaneous two-way transmission (transmit and receive) between two network devices.
Can I use this with SC/UPC ports?
No, SC/APC connectors are not compatible with SC/UPC connectors. Mating an APC connector with a UPC connector will result in permanent damage to the fiber end-faces.
Are these cables tested before shipment?
Yes, each unit is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection performance.
