MDC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Push-Pull Boot Uniboot OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

This product is best evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a MDC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 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 cable assembly count in high-port-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
• G.657.A1 & 10mm Min. Bend Radius
• 3x Fiber Cabling Density over Duplex LC, Providing 432 Fibers within 1 RU
• DirectConec™ Push-pull Boot for Effortless Connector Insertion and Extraction
• Simple Polarity Reversal with No Exposed Fibers

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 completed assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius, which means a hurried routing decision during a night maintenance window does not itself turn into a measurable penalty on the link.

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 completed assembly is the same category used in the outside plant, which means the patch jumper does not itself become the weak point of the channel loss budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the interface connector pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

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.

Stock length choices cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), with made-to-order length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connector interfaces.

Every cable 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 cable assembly 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 at the request stage a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will establish the build before the build starts. For orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
