SC/UPC to SC/APC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable - Duplex
Optimize your network infrastructure with our SC/UPC to SC/APC Duplex OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable, engineered for seamless connectivity between flat-polish UPC and angled-polish APC equipment. This hybrid polish jumper bridges legacy SC/UPC infrastructure with modern SC/APC equipment, combining the reliability of standard UPC connections with the superior back-reflection performance of APC technology. Essential for network transitions, equipment upgrades, and mixed-polish environments in FTTH, datacom, and telecom applications.
Key Features
- High-speed single-mode transmission for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications
- Hybrid polish configuration - SC/UPC on one end, SC/APC on the other for equipment bridging
- OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125 μm) - optimized for long-reach links and pristine signal quality
- Duplex construction - two fibers in one jacket for simultaneous Tx/Rx channels
- SC push-pull connectors with square latch design for fast, tool-free installation
- UPC polish on one end - ultra-flat ferrule for standard equipment connections
- APC polish on the other end - angled 8° ferrule minimizes back-reflection for modern equipment
- Low insertion loss - ≤0.15 dB typical for optimal signal transmission

Applications
Essential for connecting legacy SC/UPC equipment to modern SC/APC infrastructure, FTTH deployments with mixed polish requirements, network migrations and phased upgrades, datacom and telecom networks with diverse equipment, bridging standard GBIC modules to APC-equipped devices, and any application requiring connectivity between UPC and APC polish types while maintaining signal integrity.
Why SC/UPC to SC/APC?
This hybrid cable is critical for network transitions where legacy equipment with UPC polish needs to connect to modern infrastructure using APC polish. During equipment upgrades or network expansions, this cable enables seamless integration without requiring a complete system replacement. The mixed-polish design allows you to leverage existing UPC infrastructure while gradually transitioning to APC technology to improve back-reflection performance.
Important Installation Note
This is a hybrid polish cable with different connector types on each end. Always verify which end connects to which equipment before installation. The UPC end should connect to flat-polished ports, while the APC end (typically green-colored) should connect to angled-polished ports. Never connect UPC to APC adapters directly, as this can cause signal degradation and damage to connectors.
