Difference between UPC vs APC, Single Mode vs Multi Mode and Fiber Cable SFP Compatibility:

Fiber optic cables and networking have a lot of different terms and designs. Some people might ask what is LC/UPC | LC/UPC? What is SC/APC | SC/APC? UPC and APC are two polish types / grinding methods for optical fiber bushings.

UPC vs APC ?

Install connectors on one fiber end face, return loss is unavoidable, this is due to the reflection of the optical source. Serious optical loss will damage the laser optical source and interrupts the transmission of signals. Therefore, connector rings with different grinding methods can avoid severe echo loss to a certain extent. UPC and APC are two widely used grinding types.

Differences Between UPC and APC Connector:

The main difference between UPC and APC connector is the fiber end face. UPC connectors are polished with no angle, but APC connectors feature a fiber end face that is polished at an 8-degree angle. With UPC connectors, any reflected light is reflected straight back towards the light source. However, the angled end face of the APC connector causes reflected light to reflect at an angle into the cladding versus straight back toward the source. This causes some differences in return loss.

Therefore, UPC connector is usually required to have at least -50dB return loss or higher, while APC connector return loss should be -60dB or higher. In general, the higher the return loss the better the performance of the mating of two connectors. Besides the fiber end face, another more obvious difference is the color.

Generally, UPC connectors are BLUE while APC connectors are GREEN. The following figure picture shows the differences mentioned above intuitively.
