Fiber Optic Patch Cord, Sc/Apc-Lc/Apc, Sm, 9/125 Duplex

LC and SC: These are the connector types on each end of the cable. LC (Lucent Connector): A small form-factor connector that is popular in high-density applications like data centers. SC (Standard Connector): An older but still widely used connector known for its simple push-pull design. APC: This indicates the type of polish on the connector's ferrule, the cylindrical housing that protects the fiber. APC (Angled Physical Contact): An 8-degree angle on the fiber end face minimizes back reflection, which is crucial for applications sensitive to signal reflection, such as FTTx and Passive Optical Networks (PON). APC connectors are typically green.
