Overview
The FiberXP SC to SC single mode fiber optic patch cable is a duplex jumper designed for high-performance network connections. This patch cable utilizes bend-insensitive fiber technology, supporting a minimum bending radius of 10 mm, which allows for tighter routing in crowded enclosures without signal degradation.
Constructed with a 2.8 mm PVC jacket, this cable is engineered for durability and longevity in standard operating environments. Each assembly is 100% optically tested to ensure consistent signal integrity for critical data transmissions.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
What does BI stand for?
BI stands for Bend Insensitive, indicating the fiber is designed to maintain signal integrity even when bent beyond standard thresholds.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable features a PVC jacket intended for indoor applications; it is not rated for external or direct-buried environments.
What is the polish type of the connectors?
The connectors are SC/UPC, which denotes an Ultra-Physical Contact polish.
Can this cable be used with G.652 single mode fiber?
Yes, G.657.A1 fiber is designed to be backward compatible with G.652 standard single mode fiber.
Is this a duplex or simplex cable?
This is a duplex cable, consisting of two strands of fiber for bi-directional communication.
