FC UPC to FC UPC Simplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

Upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a FC UPC interface on one end and a FC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a whole assembly. The single-fiber construction suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any link that carries traffic over one strand.

Product Highlights

• G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius
• Precision Zirconia Ferrule Connectors Ensure Low Loss
• Flame-Retardant Riser (OFNR) for Vertical and Floor-to-Floor Installations
• Color-Coded Cable Jacket for Easy Identification
• Ideal for Unidirectional Data Transmission

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 might damage the ferrules, meaning that the patch side must agree with the mounted panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the mating connector housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Cords route through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in the finished assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius, meaning that a hurried routing decision during a night maintenance window is not designed to turn into a measurable penalty on the link.

Normal length options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), with project-specific length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the relevant connectors.

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

Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length when seeking a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will determine the build before the product is built. For upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
