Ceramic 8° Angled Ferrule on APC Connector
Ø3 mm Protective Outer Jacket

These polarization-maintaining fiber optic patch cables are connectorized on both ends with high-quality, narrow key, ceramic connectors: one FC/APC (green boot) and one FC/PC (blue boot). Manufactured in our facility, each cable is individually tested to ensure its extinction ratio and low back-reflection (return loss) at fiber-to-fiber junctions. Available from stock, these cables feature a high-quality polish, which leads to a typical return loss of over 50 dB.

Each patch cable includes two protective caps that shield the ferrule ends from dust and other hazards. Additional CAPF Fiber Caps for FC/PC- and FC/APC-terminated ends are also sold separately.
