1M SC-UPC to SC-APC Patch Cord

1M SC-UPC to SC-APC Singlemode Patch Cord – High-Precision Fiber for Mixed Connector Networks

Upgrade your fiber optic installations with the 1-meter SC-UPC to SC-APC Singlemode Patch Cord, designed to deliver exceptional optical performance across modern telecommunications, FTTH, data centers, and enterprise networks. This high-quality fiber patch cord connects devices and infrastructure with SC/UPC and SC/APC terminations, offering low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and consistent high-speed transmission over singlemode fiber.

Whether you’re bridging equipment with different connector types, patching an OLT to ONT, or linking optical splitters and media converters, this cable provides the precision, safety, and performance your network demands. The 1-meter length makes it ideal for short-distance connections in cabinets, server racks, or wall-mount boxes—ensuring clean and efficient installations without excess slack.

Engineered for Precision: SC-UPC to SC-APC Connectivity

This SC-UPC to SC-APC patch cord is built using G.657A1 or G.652D singlemode fiber (9/125μm), engineered to support long-range, high-bandwidth data transfer with minimal signal loss.

• SC-UPC Connector: Features a flat polished ferrule (Ultra Physical Contact), offering low insertion loss and widely used for test equipment, routers, and switches.

• SC-APC Connector: Angled at 8°, the Angled Physical Contact polish delivers superior return loss by minimizing back reflection, ideal for RF video, CATV, and FTTH systems.

Combining these two connector types in a single patch cord enables you to interconnect different fiber optic systems without the need for adapters, while maintaining superior optical performance.

Key Technical Specs:

• Length: 1 meter

• Connector A: SC-UPC

• Connector B: SC-APC

• Insertion Loss: ≤ 0.3 dB (typical)

• Return Loss: ≥ 50 dB (UPC), ≥ 60 dB (APC)

• Fiber Type: Singlemode (OS2 9/125μm)

Built to Last: Durable LSZH Jacket for Safety and Flexibility

The patch cord is jacketed in Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which emits little smoke and no halogen when exposed to fire—making it a safe choice for indoor installations in residential, commercial, or public settings.

The 2.0mm tight-buffered cable is strong yet flexible, designed to withstand frequent handling, tight bends, and limited-space routing while protecting the internal fiber core from stress or damage.

LSZH Benefits:

• Flame-retardant and eco-friendly

• Safe for indoor and plenum environments

• Compliant with CE, RoHS, and fire safety standards

• Ideal for use in enclosed cabinets, office spaces, and homes

Hassle-Free Installation with Broad Compatibility

This 1M SC-UPC to SC-APC patch cord is ready to use out of the box, with factory-terminated and polished connectors that ensure fast, error-free setup. Simply connect one end to an SC-UPC port (such as on a switch or test device) and the other to an SC-APC device (like an OLT, ONT, or splitter), and you’re done.

Common Applications:

• FTTH (Fiber to the Home) terminal connections

• OLT to ONT cabling

• Interconnecting optical splitters in GPON/EPON systems

• Data center patching between mixed-interface hardware

• Connecting fiber media converters or transceivers

By using this mixed-connector cable, you eliminate the need for bulkier adapters or conversion panels—reducing potential points of signal loss and saving space in tight installations.

Precision Factory Testing for Guaranteed Performance

Every SC-UPC to SC-APC patch cord is 100% factory tested to ensure reliable performance before shipping. The connectors are optically inspected and tested for insertion loss and return loss, and the end-faces are cleaned and protected with dust caps to prevent contamination.

Testing Includes:

• Insertion Loss (IL) measurement

• Return Loss (RL) measurement

• End-face geometry and polish quality inspection

• Dust-free packaging and secure protection

These quality control measures ensure your patch cord is ready for high-performance applications, with no compromise in optical quality.

Ideal for FTTH, CATV, and Mixed Connector Networks

The SC-UPC to SC-APC combination is ideal when your system includes a mix of connector standards. It’s widely used in real-world network scenarios where:

• ONT/OLT devices use SC-APC ports

• Test tools or switches use SC-UPC ports

• Optical splitters and distribution boxes vary by termination type

This 1-meter patch cord is the go-to solution for making reliable connections without compromising on return loss or signal clarity, especially in high-speed data and video transmission environments.
