Siemon has enhanced its
extensive product line of
LightHouse advanced fibre
cabling solutions with the
latest upgrades to offer
improved performance.
S
iemon, a leading global network
infrastructure specialist, has
enhanced its comprehensive line
of LightHouse advanced fibre cabling
solutions with a new APC BladePatch
Uni-boot duplex single-mode fibre jumper.
The new jumper has been developed in
response to increasing fibre densities and
the growing demand for APC (angled
physical contact) connectivity that offers

improved return loss performance for high-
speed fibre links.
Siemon’s new LC APC BladePatch Uni-boot
duplex jumper features the company’s
patented revolutionary BladePatch low-
profile push-pull boot design for easy access
and removal in tight-fitting areas such as
high-density fibre patching for switches,
blade servers and storage equipment.
Utilising ITU-T G.657.A1 bend-insensitive
singlemode fibre and a smaller-diameter
uni-tube cable design, the LC APC BladePatch
reduces cable pathway congestion, improving
air flow and increasing energy efficiency while
simplifying overall cable management.
“In recent years, we have seen a growing
need for better return loss performance and
APC single-mode connectivity for connecting
carrier services and supporting higher-speed
protocols in data centre, long haul and FTTX
environments,” said Kevin Stronkowsky,
product manager for Siemon.
“The fibre end face of an APC connector
features an eight-degree angle that provides
better reflection performance versus UPC
(ultra-physical contact) connectors.
We are extremely pleased to expand
our APC singlemode offering with the
patented push-pull design of our already
popular LC BladePatch.”
Siemon’s LightHouse APC singlemode
offering also includes fibre patch cords,
fibre pigtails, pre-terminated fibre trunks
and connectivity. n
