3M Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable – SC/UPC to SC/APC | Branded 2mm Cord for High-Precision Optical Networks
Product Overview
The 3M Fiber Patch Cable (SC/UPC to SC/APC) is a high-performance, low-loss optical patch cord designed for long-distance, high-speed data transmission in FTTH, telecom, and enterprise networking applications. Built with 2mm diameter simplex single mode fiber, this cable delivers stable performance, low insertion loss, and high return loss, making it ideal for precise optical signal transmission where one end requires a straight UPC polish and the other an angled APC polish.
Engineered with branded quality and factory-level precision, this 3-meter fiber optic jumper ensures minimal signal reflection, superior durability, and compliance with ITU-T G.657A1/G.652D standards.
