LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Flat Clip Uniboot OS2, 1.6mm, ofnr Fiber Patch Cable

Keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site pays off at acceptance time. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a complete item. The uniboot design places both fibers of the duplex optical path inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the fiber cable count in space-efficient panels and simplifying polarity management.

Product Highlights

• Uniboot Allows One Cable to Carry Two Fibers to Reduce Cable Congestion in High-Density Patch Fields
• G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius
• Flat Clip Design Provides Additional Space Between Connectors and Improves Airflow
• Reverse Polarity without Exposing the Fibers or Needing Any Tools
• Termination Is Tested to Ensure Network Performance

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Patch leads channel through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in this factory-built assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; as a result, a hurried routing decision during a night service work window is not intended to turn into a measurable penalty on the optical path.

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.

Uniboot connectors expose the polarity through the housing rather than the termination: the latches or clips let the installer swap the fiber positions without opening the cord. A polarity mistake discovered at turn-up becomes a two-minute correction instead of a replacement order. Project teams can carry this requirement into the site documentation used by each contractor.

Standard size options cover the common patching routes: 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 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.
