LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Grade B OS2 Fiber Patch Cable

Malaysian upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. 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 whole assembly. The duplex zipcord construction keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one assembly for fast, error-free patching.

Specifications

Bend tolerance in real cabinets

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 finished assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius, meaning that a hurried routing decision during a night maintenance window is not designed to turn into a measurable penalty on the link.

Where single-mode jumpers earn their place

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 finished assembly is the same category used in the outside plant, meaning that this jumper assembly is not designed to become the weak point of the channel budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the mating connector pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

Grade B terminations

Grade B assemblies are built to tighter insertion loss limits than the standard grade, chosen for links where the channel budget leaves little room for patching loss. The trade is economical: tighter testing at the factory in exchange for fewer surprises at turn-up.

Length Options

Normal length options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), with project-specific length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the relevant connectors.

Quality Control and Testing

Each finished 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 completed cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result available on request.

Ordering and Factory Support

Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length when seeking a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will determine the build before the product is built. For Malaysian upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
