General information about fiber optic cables: Equivalent terms for fiber optic patch cables can include patch cords, adapter cables, connection cables, or jumpers. While a conventional signal in a copper cable can be subject to electrical interference, fiber optic cables operate using light. Therefore, they cannot be influenced by external electromagnetic interference, nor do they affect other lines or signals, as they emit no radiation. Additionally, due to the low attenuation of optical cables, distances of well over 100 km can be covered without optical amplification.

The LC connector is a high-performance fiber optic connector for singlemode and multimode applications, characterized by low insertion loss. It is one of the most common types of fiber optic connectors. The design of the LC connector is based on a single-fiber ceramic ferrule with a diameter of 1.25 mm for a light waveguide. Due to its compact design, the LC connector allows for high packing density, making it frequently used for fiber optic switches.

APC - Angled Physical Contact: Connectors with the APC designation have an end face that is not only rounded but also tilted a few degrees relative to the fiber axis. This design allows reflected light from the core to be refracted out into the air through the cladding, thereby preventing interference with data transmission.
