LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Standard Clip Uniboot OM4 Fiber Patch Cable

For procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. This OM4 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM4 glass and optically tested as an entire unit. The uniboot build places the two fibers of the duplex connection inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the installed cable count in dense 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
• 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
• Support for Various Transmission Speed Ethernet Applications

A duplex jumper is two fibers with a defined A-to-B crossover. Getting polarity right at the cord level keeps the link consistent end to end, which is why these assemblies are built and tested as a pair rather than as two individual strands.

This OM4 unit serves the short-reach fabric of the data center: 10G and 25G server uplinks, 40G and 100G SR4 spine links and the inter-row runs between them. On OM4 glass, 10G Ethernet holds to 400 meters and 100G SR4 to 100 meters, which covers the overwhelming majority of in-hall routes with margin to spare.

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 connection, halving the cord count visibly changes the airflow and the manageability of the patching field.

Catalogue lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 8m (26ft), 10m (33ft), with custom-built length offered beyond the list. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the optical interfaces.

Every manufactured 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 installed cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result offered on specify.

Refer to this setup by connector pair, fiber mode and length when specifying a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, identification or project packing, send the specification with the request and the factory will make certain of the build before factory assembly. A clear port or maintenance schedule helps us confirm the correct factory-built configuration before supply.
