Ubiquiti UF-SM-PATCH-APC-APC Fiber Patch Cord Apc Apc

Product Description

The UBIQUITI UF-SM-PATCH-APC-APC is a single-mode fiber optic patch cord designed for use in structured fiber networks. It features APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on both ends, which minimize back-reflection and signal loss at the connection point. This type of patch cord is commonly used to interconnect fiber optic equipment such as transceivers, media converters, ONTs, and patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to make clean, low-loss connections in fiber distribution systems where signal integrity is critical.

This patch cord is suited for single-mode fiber installations in both residential and commercial network environments. It is a natural fit for UFiber passive optical network (PON) deployments where UBIQUITI UFiber OLTs, ONUs, and related equipment are in use. APC connectors are the standard choice when connecting to equipment with green APC-style ports, as mismatching APC and UPC connectors can result in poor return loss and degraded signal performance.

Key Features

• APC connectors on both ends for low back-reflection and reduced insertion loss
• Single-mode fiber construction suited for long-distance optical signal transmission
• Compatible with APC-keyed ports on fiber transceivers, patch panels, and ONU equipment
• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cord for use with single-mode fiber equipment featuring APC-type optical ports. Best suited for UFiber network deployments using UBIQUITI fiber infrastructure components.

Installation Notes

This patch cord should be installed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage cabling professional familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. Always inspect and clean fiber end-faces before mating connectors to prevent contamination-related signal loss. Power down or disable optical transmitters at the source before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cords to protect both the fiber and personnel. APC connectors are keyed and must only be mated with matching APC ports — do not force a UPC connector into an APC port.
