Why Choose SC/UPC to SC/APC Duplex Patch Cables?


✅ Superior Return Loss: UPC polish reduces back reflections, critical for RFoG, PON, and analog signals;
✅ Reliable & Durable: 3.0mm jacket provides flexibility and crush resistance;
✅ Plug-and-Play: Pre-terminated, factory-tested for consistent performance.


The 3.0mm SC/UPC to SC/APC Duplex Singlemode Patch Cable is an excellent choice for high-performance optical networks requiring low insertion loss, high return loss, and reliable APC connections. It is widely used in FTTH, telecom, and data center environments wherNeed customization (armored, different lengths, or bend-insensitive fiber)? Let me know your requirements!
