Overview
The FiberXP SC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex fiber optic assembly designed for high-precision network connectivity. Engineered with an angle-polished (APC) finish, this cable minimizes back reflection and provides consistent signal integrity for sensitive optical applications.
The cable features a 2.8mm PVC outer jacket, offering a balance between flexibility and protection in standard data center or enterprise environments. Each assembly is 100% optically tested for insertion loss and back reflection to ensure performance standards are met upon installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does APC mean in this context?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector ferrule is polished at an 8-degree angle, which reduces back reflection (return loss) compared to standard UPC (flat) connectors.
Is this cable suitable for high-speed internet?
Yes, this single-mode patch cable is intended for high-speed fiber optic data transmission.
Can this be used for outdoor installations?
The 2.8mm PVC jacket is designed for indoor and rack-mount environments; it is not typically rated for direct-burial or long-term outdoor exposure.
Is this cable compatible with SC/UPC connectors?
No, mating APC connectors with UPC connectors will cause physical damage to the fiber tips and result in severe signal loss.
