Frequently Asked Questions
What does the APC designation mean for these connectors?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector end-face is polished at an angle to reduce back reflection, which is critical for high-performance single mode systems.
Is this cable suitable for use in high-density data centers?
Yes, the 2.8mm simplex construction is designed for efficient routing in patch panels and equipment racks.
Are these cables tested before shipping?
Yes, every FiberXP patch cable undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss and back reflection.
Can I use this for multi-mode applications?
No, this is a single mode fiber cable and is not compatible with multi-mode fiber hardware.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The cable is jacketed in PVC, which offers a balance of durability and flexibility for standard indoor environments.
