APC 8-degree angled single-mode fiber optic patch cord
These single mode fiber optic patch cables are FC/APC terminated on both ends, making them ideal for systems that are sensitive to back reflections. The narrow key connector utilizes a ferrule that has an 8° angle polished tip, ensuring typical return loss of 60 dB. This causes any reflected light to travel into the cladding of the fiber instead of straight back down the core of the fiber to the transmitter which will cause damage to the transmitter over time.
