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.

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.
