LC/UPC-LC/UPC | 8 Fibers Fanout | Single Mode G657.A2

This LC/UPC to LC/UPC Fanout Cable features 8 singlemode G657.A2 bend-insensitive fibers, each with a 250µm core, routed through 1.8mm subunit tubes and enclosed in a 3.0mm main jacket. Designed for flexible and compact routing, this assembly is ideal for patch panels, rack interconnects, and structured cabling systems in high-density environments.

Each end is terminated with LC connectors, equipped with a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) variant features a flat polished surface for excellent insertion loss and low back reflection. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) version offers an 8° angled polish to minimize return loss even further, making it ideal for high-precision applications.
