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 singlemode
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 singlemode 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 endface 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.
