400M SC APC to ST APC Duplex Singlemode Fiber Optic Cable
Best long-distance solution for connecting mismatched fiber network hardware.
This 40-meter duplex fiber optic patch cable is engineered for high-speed data transmission over long distances. It features a 9/125 µm singlemode core, minimizing signal loss for reliable performance. The cable is equipped with asymmetrical connectors, an SC APC on one end and an ST APC on the other, ensuring broad compatibility with network hardware. Its standard PVC jacket is suitable for general indoor routing. This pre-terminated assembly simplifies installation, providing a factory-tested, plug-and-play solution for connecting network components efficiently.

Know before you buy
No, this cable features a standard PVC jacket designed specifically for indoor use. It is not rated for outdoor exposure or direct burial.
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact. The connector ferrules are polished at an 8-degree angle to minimize back-reflection, which is critical for high-performance, long-distance signal integrity.
No, this is a 9/125 µm singlemode cable. It is not compatible with multimode hardware, as the core sizes and light transmission methods are fundamentally different.
This cable is designed for patching between two different types of network hardware, such as connecting an older ST-based patch panel to a modern SC-based switch or transceiver.
No, the duplex configuration means two fiber strands are housed within a single jacket. This allows for simultaneous transmit and receive data paths in one convenient cable assembly.
