LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Switchable Uniboot OM3 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 OM3 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM3 glass and optically tested as a whole assembly. The uniboot construction places the two fibers of the duplex link inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the completed cable count in compact high-density panels and simplifying polarity management.

Product Highlights

• Uniboot Allows One Cable to Carry Two Fibers to Reduce Cable Congestion in High-Density Patch Fields
• Bend Insensitive Fiber with 7.5mm Min. Bend Radius
• Allow for Easy Reverse Polarity Without Special Tools
• Termination Is Tested to Ensure Network Performance
• Designed for High-Density Fiber Cabling in Network Cabinet Connections, Ceiling Wiring and Under-Floor Wiring in a Data Center

This OM3 assembly matches the deployed base of OM3 channel cabling: 10G links to 300 meters and 40/100G SR4 links to 70 meters. When the permanent link is OM3, patching with OM3 keeps the channel specification homogeneous and the test reports clean.

Multimode links fail more often from contamination than from fiber damage. Each ferrule should be inspected and cleaned before joining the interfaces, and the dust caps ought to stay on until the moment of connection. These habits matter more than any specification on the datasheet.

The uniboot design merges the duplex pair into a single round cord and a single connector housing. In a 400G row where each QSFP-DD port consumes a duplex link, halving the cord count visibly changes the airflow and the manageability of the patching field.

Normal length options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 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.
