Customized Duplex Fiber Patch Cable, LC/SC/FC/ST/LSH/MU/MTRJ, OS2

Keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site pays off at acceptance time. This customized fiber patch cable is built to the particular design the project specifies: connector styles, polish, fiber mode, jacket and length are all chosen at order time and the factory-built assembly is factory terminated and optically tested before dispatch.

Product Highlights

• Precision Zirconia Ferrule Connectors Ensure Low Loss
• Duplex Zipcord Construction Reduces Risk of Damage from Crimping
• Available in LC, SC, FC, ST, LSH, MU, and MTRJ Connectors
• Available in 1.2mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm Cable Diameters

The customized program covers the combinations that stock lists cannot: mixed connector families, non-standard jackets, unusual lengths, labeling and packaging to the project specification. The factory-built assembly is terminated and tested exactly like a stock product, with the design confirmed before release to production.

Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and every wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in this factory-built assembly is the equivalent section used in the outside plant; as a result, this patch cord is not intended to become the weak point of the power budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the connector interface pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and may damage the ferrules; as a result, the patch side must align with the fiber panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the connector interface housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Standard size options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), with customized length provided beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the mating connectors.

Each completed assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The fiber cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result provided on order.

Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when submitting a request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will validate the build before release to production. Customers can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
