HOME / What is the angle of the APC connector - PVProjekt Digital Infrastructure
For UPC connectors, the fiber end face is an approximately circular surface. In contrast, the end face of the APC connector is inclined at 8 degrees. This tiny angle allows the reflected light to be absorbed

Angled Physical Contact (APC) is a style of fiber optic connector that is designed to help minimize back-reflection when connecting fiber cables. It uses a 5°-15° angle on the connector tip to reduce the
