SC/UPC to SC/APC simplex single-mode fiber patch cable (9/125 µm OS2), factory terminated and 100% tested for insertion and return loss. The APC 8° angled polish delivers the ≥60 dB return loss demanded by GPON, EPON, RF-over-glass, and CATV links where back-reflection degrades transmitters. Precision zirconia ceramic ferrules ensure repeatable, low-loss mating over hundreds of cycles.
Applications
- FTTH / FTTx and PON (GPON, EPON, XGS-PON) distribution
- Central office, headend, and data center cross-connect
- ONT/OLT and CATV node connections
- Test, turn-up, and restoration kits

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SC/UPC to SC/APC fiber patch cable used for?
A SC/UPC to SC/APC simplex single-mode patch cable connects equipment or panel ports that use SC/UPC on one end and SC/APC on the other — common in FTTH drops, GPON/EPON distribution, CATV nodes, and central-office cross-connects where 9/125 OS2 fiber is the standard.
What is the difference between UPC and APC polish?
UPC (blue) connectors have a flat-domed end-face with return loss around 50 dB. APC (green) connectors are polished at an 8° angle, pushing return loss above 60 dB. APC is required for GPON, RF-over-glass, and any link sensitive to back-reflection. Never mate APC to UPC — the air gap causes high loss and can damage end-faces.
Are these patch cables tested before shipping?
Yes. Every assembly is 100% factory tested for insertion loss (≤0.3 dB) and return loss before it ships, with test data available on request.
Can I order a custom length or connector combination?
Yes. Any connector pair, length, jacket (PVC/LSZH), or duplex/multimode configuration can be built to order — contact Conversions Tech at (307) 206-0534 with your specification.
Lead Time: Made-to-order item. Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation. Call (307) 206-0534 for expedited or volume requirements, custom lengths, or connector combinations not listed.
