SC/UPC–SC/APC Armoured Single-Mode Fiber Optic Patch Cord

The SC/UPC–SC/APC Armoured patch cord is a hybrid-polish single-mode jumper designed for PON, CATV and telecom backbone networks where low insertion loss, ultra-low reflection, and mechanical protection are all required.

By combining SC/UPC on one end and SC/APC on the other, this cable allows direct interconnection between legacy UPC ports and modern APC-based equipment—without adapters or signal-degrading converters.

As a factory-direct manufacturer, OEM supplier and bulk exporter, we support distributors, system integrators, network contractors, and global sourcing companies.

Description

What Makes This Cable Unique

Many FTTH and CATV networks still run UPC interfaces on ODFs and test equipment, while splitters, ONUs, and RF transmitters require APC.
This SC/UPC–SC/APC armoured jumper bridges that gap, delivering clean optical performance while eliminating unnecessary patch panels.

The metal-armoured cable design provides:

  • Crush resistance

  • Rodent protection

  • Stable routing in outdoor cabinets and racks

making it ideal for field installation and high-risk cable paths.
