| FC/PC to FC/APC Hybrid |

These polarization-maintaining fiber optic patch cables are connectorized on both ends with high-quality, narrow key, ceramic FC connectors. 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. These cables are available from stock and 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-terminated ends are also sold separately.
