Overview
The Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-SM-PATCH-UPC-APC is a single-mode fiber patch cable designed with an SC/UPC connector on one end and an SC/APC connector on the other. Its mixed UPC/APC connector configuration is intended for compatible fiber and GPON network connections.
Fiber and Connector Configuration
This simplex fiber patch cable uses SM9/125 single-mode fiber and has one 2.0 mm SC/UPC connector and one 2.0 mm SC/APC connector. The SC/UPC connector is blue, while the SC/APC connector is green for straightforward connector identification.
Cable Construction
The cable has a 2.0 mm yellow PVC jacket and a 1.5 m length. Its compact construction is suited to fiber patching applications where a UPC connection must interface with an APC connection.
Optical Performance
Ubiquiti specifies insertion loss of no more than 0.3 dB. Return loss is specified at a minimum of 50 dB for the UPC side and 60 dB for the APC side.
Key Features
- 1.5 m single-mode simplex fiber patch cable
- SC/UPC to SC/APC connector configuration
- SM9/125 fiber with 2.0 mm cable construction
- Yellow PVC jacket

Applications
The UACC-OFC-SM-PATCH-UPC-APC is intended for compatible single-mode fiber patching and GPON network installations requiring an SC/UPC-to-SC/APC connection.
DC Supplies Product Note
The connector types are a key selection point for this cable. Verify that the equipment or fiber termination on one side requires SC/UPC and the other requires SC/APC before ordering, as UPC and APC are different connector-polish configurations.
