SC UPC to ST UPC Duplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

High-density designs should assess this item together with panel access, cable routing and the complete optical loss allowance. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a SC UPC interface on one end and a ST UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a full product. The duplex zipcord structure keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one product for fast, error-free patching.

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
• Duplex Zipcord Construction Reduces Risk of Damage from Crimping

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; consequently, the patch side must correspond to the patch panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and this connector interface housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.

Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Leads pathway through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in this terminated assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; consequently, a hurried routing decision during a night upkeep window will not by itself turn into a measurable penalty on the channel.

Standard cable lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), with custom length obtainable beyond the list. Specifying the measured pathway length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off these optical interfaces.

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. This optical cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result obtainable on ask for.

Refer to this arrangement by connector pair, fiber mode and length during the request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, marking or project packaging, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will review the build before manufacturing begins. Project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
