FAQ
Patch cords and pigtails: questions buyers ask
UPC or APC?
APC (green) is standard for FTTH and video because its angled end face gives high return loss. UPC (blue) is common in data centers and Ethernet links. Do not mate the two: the end faces are not compatible.
Can you supply mixed kits?
Yes. Send the list of cords per rack or per site and we pack and label them that way, which saves installers time.
