Overview
The E2000/APC to E2000/APC simplex patch cable is a high-performance fiber optic assembly designed for precision network connectivity. It features industry-standard E2000 connectors, engineered for secure, high-integrity signal transmission in sensitive environments.
Built with genuine Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber, this patch cord provides exceptional durability and low signal loss. Each connector is equipped with an integrated, spring-loaded shutter system that automatically closes when the connector is unplugged, protecting against dust, debris, and hazardous high-power laser emissions.
Key Features
-
Integrated Shutter System
Features an automated internal shutter that protects the ferrule from contamination and prevents accidental exposure to laser light. -
Corning SMF-28 Ultra Fiber
Utilizes globally recognized, high-quality singlemode fiber for optimal signal transmission and performance. -
APC Polishing
Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish minimizes back-reflection, ideal for high-bandwidth and sensitive network applications. -
3mm Ruggedized Jacket
Includes a 3mm outer jacket providing increased protection against mechanical stress and environmental elements. -
Simplex Design
Compact single-fiber configuration allows for efficient routing in crowded rack and panel spaces. -
Green Housing
The distinct green E2000 connector housing provides visual identification for APC compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the E2000 shutter?
The integrated shutter protects the user from high-power laser light and shields the internal ferrule from dust and environmental contaminants.
Is this patch cord suitable for high-power laser applications?
Yes, the E2000 connector is designed specifically for environments where laser safety and ferrule protection are required.
Can this cable be used with UPC equipment?
No, the connectors have an APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish, which is not compatible with standard flat or UPC-polished hardware.
What fiber glass is used in this assembly?
This assembly uses Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber.
Is this a single-fiber or dual-fiber cable?
This is a simplex cable, which contains a single fiber strand.
