FAQ – SC/APC to SC/UPC Fiber Optic Patch Cord
Q1: What is the difference between SC/APC and SC/UPC connectors?
A1: SC/APC connectors use an 8° angled end-face to reduce back reflection, while SC/UPC connectors have a flat surface with ultra-polished contact. APC is commonly used in CATV, FTTx, and high-precision networks, while UPC is often used in data and telecom applications.
Q2: Is this patch cord single-mode or multimode?
A2: This is a single-mode (SM) fiber optic patch cord, using 9/125µm simplex fiber for long-distance and high-speed transmission.
Q3: What lengths are available?
A3: Standard lengths include 1m, 2m, and 3m, but we can customize other lengths upon request.
Q4: What jacket material is used?
A4: The cable uses a 3.0mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, which is flame-retardant and safer for indoor installations.
Q5: Are these patch cords tested before shipment?
A5: Yes, every patch cord is 100% factory tested for insertion loss and return loss, with traceable test data.
Q6: What standards does the product comply with?
A6: The patch cord meets TIA/EIA-568-B.3 and Telcordia GR-326-CORE Issue 3 standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance.
Q7: Where can this patch cord be used?
A7: It is ideal for FTTH, FTTX, LAN, CATV, data centers, and telecom networks.
Q8: Can I order customized connectors or lengths?
A8: Yes, customized connector types (LC, FC, ST, etc.) and cable lengths are available upon request.
