LC UPC to ST UPC Simplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

For project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a ST UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as an entire unit. The single-fiber build suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any connection 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

Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and each wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in the assembly is the identical group used in the outside plant, so this jumper does not become the weak point of the optical budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and this connector pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

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 may damage the ferrules, so the patch side must be matched to this panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and this connector housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Standard length options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), with custom length offered beyond the list. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off these connectors.

Each 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. This 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 ordering a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, identification or project packing, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will verify the build prior to production. Our project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
