Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of bend-insensitive fiber?
Bend-insensitive fiber is designed to maintain signal integrity even when the cable is tightly routed or kinked, reducing light leakage compared to standard single-mode fibers.
What does SC/APC signify?
SC is the connector housing style, and APC (Angled Physical Contact) refers to the 8-degree polish on the ferrule, which minimizes back reflection for high-performance networks.
Are these cables compatible with existing SC infrastructure?
Yes, they are compatible with standard SC ports, though you should ensure both sides of the connection are APC-polished to prevent mating APC with UPC connectors, which can damage the fiber faces.
Is test data provided with the cable?
Yes, each patch cable comes with its own individual optical test data results.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features a PVC jacket, which is typically intended for indoor or protected-environment use. It is not rated for direct burial or harsh outdoor environmental exposure.
