Overview
The FiberXP SC/APC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex, bend-insensitive jumper designed for high-performance network applications. Its construction features a 2.8mm PVC jacket, providing a balance of flexibility and protection for sensitive environments.
Engineered for precision, this cable uses angle-polished SC connectors to minimize back reflection in sensitive optical networks. This patch cable is suitable for use in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise networks where signal integrity and resilience to macro-bending are critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of bend-insensitive fiber?
Bend-insensitive fiber is designed to maintain optical performance even when the cable is tightly coiled or bent around corners, preventing significant signal loss.
Why are the connectors angle-polished (APC)?
APC connectors are angled at 8 degrees to ensure that reflected light is directed into the cladding rather than back towards the light source, which is required for high-return loss applications.
Can this cable be used for high-speed internet?
Yes, this single mode patch cable is suitable for high-bandwidth applications including high-speed fiber internet and long-distance data transmission.
Are these cables tested?
Yes, all single mode jumpers are 100% optically tested, and each cable includes its specific test data.
What is the difference between SC/APC and standard SC/UPC?
SC/APC connectors provide superior return loss performance (>65dB) compared to SC/UPC connectors, making them ideal for sensitive optical networks.
