Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SC/UPC and SC/APC connectors?
SC/UPC connectors have a flat polish with moderate return loss, suitable for digital transmission. SC/APC uses an angled polish and is better for analogue or high-reflection-sensitive systems.
When should I use a simplex patch lead?
Simplex patch leads are ideal when only one fibre is needed—typically in one-way transmission or specialised equipment with single port connectivity.
