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

For procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a MDC UPC interface on one end and a MDC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 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
• 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

The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Because mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and can damage the ferrules, the patch side must be aligned with this adapter panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the optical interface housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Patch cords path through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in the product assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius, and therefore a hurried routing decision during a night servicing window does not by itself turn into a measurable penalty on the connection.

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), 10m (33ft), 30m (98ft), 35m (115ft), 50m (164ft), 100m (328ft), 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.
