Frequently Asked Questions
What does the APC designation mean?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector ferrule is polished at an 8-degree angle to reduce back reflection (return loss) in the connection.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. Its PVC jacket is not rated for exposure to environmental elements found outdoors.
Can I use this with SC/UPC ports?
No. APC connectors are not compatible with UPC (flat) connectors. Connecting them can cause permanent damage to the end-face of the fiber.
What does simplex mean?
Simplex means the cable contains a single strand of fiber, supporting communication in one direction or a single signal path.
Is this cable compliant with TAA regulations?
No, this specific part number is marked as non-TAA compliant.
