Custom LC/SC Duplex FTTA Outdoor Patch Cable, OS2, 7.0mm LSZH

The customized duplex FTTA program builds the standard outdoor base station jumper to the exact configuration of the site: LC or SC connectors in any mix, the measured route length from a few meters to full tower runs, and armored breakout lengths matched to the hardware at each end. The cable platform is unchanged: two OS2 9/125µm single-mode fibers of Corning G.657.A1 glass in a 7.0mm LSZH outdoor jacket, with helical steel armored branches protecting the tails and a potted, strain-relieved breakout point.

Product Highlights

• Duplex OS2 9/125µm single mode, connector mix to order
• LC, SC and mixed LC/SC combinations on one platform
• Corning G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber, 20/10D bend radius
• Armored breakout length selectable: 0.03/0.34/0.2m
• 7.0mm LSZH UV-stabilized outdoor jacket
• Any project length manufactured to order

Base station sites differ in every dimension: tower height, shelter position, enclosure type and equipment generation. A customized FTTA jumper takes those dimensions as input. The connector mix follows the actual ports on the baseband and radio sides, the length follows the measured route with working slack, and the armored breakout at each end follows the position where the trunk separates into legs. The result installs without adaptors, without a service loop of surplus cable, and without field termination.

The breakout is the point where the 7.0mm trunk divides into two protected legs. A short 0.03m breakout suits a compact enclosure where both connectors sit side by side; the standard 0.34m armored branch reaches separated ports inside a radio shroud or distribution box; a 0.2m intermediate option covers layouts in between. Choosing the right breakout keeps every centimeter of exposed fiber inside the helical steel tube, which is where crush and rodent damage actually happen.

Customization changes the configuration, not the engineering. The cable retains the 200/400N long and short-term tensile rating for pulling and vertical hanging, the 1100/2200N crush resistance, and the -20 to 70 degree Celsius operating range. G.657.A1 glass keeps the 10D static bend tolerance that congested enclosures demand, and remains compatible with installed G.652.D feeder plant.

For multi-site deployments, the configuration is recorded once and repeated exactly: connector mix, length, breakout, labeling. Crews at site fifty install the identical cord that was validated at site one, which keeps commissioning time predictable and spares planning simple. The labeling scheme can follow the customer document, with leg identification at both ends printed to match the site record.

State the measured route length with the enquiry, including the tray path and working slack at both ends; the factory builds to that figure and confirms the manufacturable specification before production.

Every customized cord is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested as a complete assembly: insertion loss is verified against the 0.3dB ceiling and return loss against the 50dB minimum on each leg. End-face geometry is inspected on every connector, and the delivered cord is ready to plug into service without on-site rework.

Send the required connector mix, route length and breakout preference with the enquiry. The factory confirms the manufacturable specification before production and keeps the configuration on record for repeat orders across the rollout.
