Overview
The FiberXP SC to FC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex fiber optic assembly designed for high-performance network connections. This patch cable utilizes G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber, which allows for a tighter minimum bending radius of 10 mm, making it well-suited for high-density patching environments where space is limited and cable management is critical.
Constructed with a 2.8mm PVC jacket, this cable is built for durable operation in indoor environments. The assembly features SC/UPC and FC/UPC connectors, which are ultra-polished to minimize signal degradation. Each unit is 100% optically tested to ensure quality, providing a reliable connection with an insertion loss of less than 0.3dB and a return loss greater than 55dB.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BI signify in the product name?
BI stands for Bend-Insensitive, meaning the fiber is designed to maintain performance even when bent or routed around tight corners.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this specific part is Non-TAA Compliant.
What connector types are used?
This cable uses an SC connector on one end and an FC connector on the other, both featuring UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish.
Is this a single-mode or multi-mode cable?
This is a single-mode fiber cable compliant with the ITU-T G.657.A1 standard.
Can this cable be used in high-density installations?
Yes, the bend-insensitive design and 10 mm minimum bend radius make it ideal for cramped distribution frames.
