LC/APC to LC/APC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable - Duplex
High-performance single mode fiber optic patch cable with LC/APC connectors on both ends. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish on both connectors delivers superior back-reflection performance, making this cable ideal for high-precision applications, including CATV networks, PON/GPON systems, and test equipment. The snap-in LC design (Lucent Connector) provides a small form factor perfect for high-density installations and seamless compatibility with SFP modules and XFP transceivers.
Key Features
- High-speed single-mode transmission for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications
- APC polish on both ends - angled 8° ferrule minimizes back-reflection (≤60 dB return loss)
- LC snap-in connectors with a small 1.25mm form factor for maximum port density
- Low insertion loss - ≤0.15 dB typical for optimal signal transmission
- Tool-free installation with easy push-pull snap-in mechanism
- Plug-and-play compatible with SFP modules, XFP transceivers, and passive optical equipment
- Superior performance for applications requiring minimal signal reflection
- UL Listed in both Canada and the US
- RoHS compliant for environmental safety

Applications
Essential for CATV distribution networks, PON/GPON fiber to the home (FTTH) systems, high-precision test and measurement equipment, data center interconnects, enterprise networks requiring low back-reflection, and any application where signal integrity and minimal reflection are critical.
Why Choose APC Polish?
The angled physical contact (APC) polish reduces back-reflection to ≤60 dB compared to ≤50 dB with UPC polish, preventing signal interference and ensuring superior performance in wavelength-sensitive and high-precision optical systems.
