LC UPC to SC UPC Duplex Standard Clip Uniboot OM4 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 OM4 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a SC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM4 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 completed cable count in compact high-density panels and simplifying polarity management.

Product Highlights

• Bend Insensitive Fiber with 7.5mm Min. Bend Radius
• Termination Is Tested to Ensure Network Performance
• Designed for High-Density Fiber Cabling in Network Cabinet Connections, Ceiling Wiring and Under-Floor Wiring in a Data Center
• Support for Various Transmission Speed Ethernet Applications

Specifications

Multimode reach for the data hall

This OM4 assembly serves the short-reach fabric of the data center: 10G and 25G server uplinks, 40G and 100G SR4 spine links and the inter-row runs between them. On OM4 glass, 10G Ethernet holds to 400 meters and 100G SR4 to 100 meters, which covers the overwhelming majority of in-hall routes with margin to spare. Malaysian upgrade teams can use this detail to compare the new assembly with the installed cabling records.

Why OM4 replaced OM3 in new builds

OM4 raises the effective modal bandwidth to 4700 MHz·km at 850nm, and that headroom translates directly into reach for the higher-speed interfaces. The price difference against OM3 has largely disappeared, meaning that new cabling plants standardize on OM4 and keep OM3 only for matching current installations.

Polarity without re-terminating

Uniboot connectors expose the polarity through the housing rather than the termination: the latches or clips let the installer swap the fiber positions without opening the cord. A polarity mistake discovered at turn-up becomes a two-minute correction instead of a replacement order. Malaysian upgrade teams can use this detail to compare the new assembly with the installed cabling records.

Length Options

Normal length options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 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.
