Overview

The FiberXP SC/UPC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex fiber jumper designed for high-density networking environments. This cable utilizes bend-insensitive fiber technology, which minimizes signal loss during installation in tight spaces or congested enclosures.

Constructed with a durable 2.8mm PVC jacket, this patch cable is built for standard data center and premise wiring applications. Each cable is factory-tested to ensure consistent optical performance, with test results provided to confirm low insertion loss and high return loss capabilities.

Key Features

  • Bend-Insensitive Fiber
    Optimized to reduce signal degradation when routed through tight bends or corners.
  • Simplex Configuration
    Single-strand design ideal for specific networking applications requiring unidirectional data flow.
  • Factory Tested
    Every cable is 100% optically tested to verify performance specifications before shipping.
  • SC/UPC to SC/APC Connectors
    Features high-quality ultra-polished and angle-polished connectors for precise signal alignment.
  • 2.8mm PVC Jacket
    Robust outer housing provides protection against environmental factors and physical strain.
  • Low Insertion Loss
    Engineered for minimal signal attenuation, typically <0.3dB.
  • High Return Loss
    Delivers superior back reflectance performance, typically >55dB.

Applications

  • Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) installations
  • Data center interconnections
  • Telecommunications networks
  • Premise cabling systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the bend-insensitive designation mean?
This cable uses fiber glass optimized to maintain low attenuation even when bent, reducing the risk of signal loss in high-density installations.

Are test results provided with this cable?
Yes, actual optical test data is included with each patch cord.

Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This cable features a standard PVC jacket, which is intended for indoor use. Outdoor applications may require specific environmental protection.

What is the difference between UPC and APC?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) uses a flat polish, while APC (Angled Physical Contact) uses an 8-degree angle to reduce back reflections.

Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this model is non-TAA compliant.
