Overview
The FiberXP SC/UPC to SC/APC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a simplex, bend-insensitive jumper designed for high-performance network connectivity. This premium patch cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity even in tight spaces where cabling must be routed around corners or through confined enclosures.
Constructed with a robust 2.8mm PVC jacket, this cable is built for standard data center and premise networking environments. Each unit is individually tested for optical performance, ensuring reliable connectivity for critical fiber optic infrastructure.
Key Features
-
Bend Insensitive Fiber
Minimizes signal loss when the cable is routed in tight bends or constrained spaces. -
Simplex Design
Provides a streamlined solution for single-channel fiber optic signal transmission. -
SC/UPC to SC/APC Connectors
Features a combination of ultra-polished and angle-polished connectors to manage back reflections effectively. -
Low Insertion Loss
Typically maintains an insertion loss of <0.3dB for efficient light transmission across the link. -
High Return Loss
Delivers >55dB return loss, ensuring minimal back reflectance for high-quality signal clarity. -
Individually Tested
Every cable is 100% optically tested with verified performance data included, guaranteeing quality upon arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of a bend-insensitive fiber patch cable?
Bend-insensitive fiber is designed to significantly reduce signal loss when the cable is tightly routed, making it ideal for high-density environments and tight enclosures.
Why does this cable have both UPC and APC connectors?
The SC/UPC connector provides a standard ultra-physical contact, while the SC/APC (angled physical contact) connector reduces back reflections, which is crucial for high-speed, single mode network applications.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
No, this specific part is noted as non-TAA compliant for GSA purposes.
