LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Short Boot OM3 Fiber Patch Cable

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This OM3 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM3 glass and optically tested as a complete item. The duplex zipcord design keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one item for fast, error-free patching.

Product Highlights

• Bend Insensitive Fiber with 7.5mm 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

Specifications

OM3 for existing multimode plants

This OM3 item matches the installed base of OM3 optical path cabling: 10G links to 300 meters and 40/100G SR4 links to 70 meters. When the permanent optical path is OM3, patching with OM3 keeps the optical path specification homogeneous and the test reports clean.

Keeping multimode links healthy

Multimode links fail more typically from contamination than from fiber damage. Every ferrule should ideally be inspected and cleaned before the interfaces are joined, and the dust caps should stay on until the moment of joint. These habits matter more than any specification on the datasheet.

Short boot connectors for tight spaces

The shortened boot shrinks the connector interface footprint behind the fiber panel, which matters in space-efficient frames where the bend space behind each port is measured in millimeters. The shorter lever arm additionally reduces the side load on the ferrule when the cord is dressed sharply to the side.

Length Options

Standard size options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), with customized length provided beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the mating connectors.

Quality Control and Testing

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. The fiber cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result provided on order.

Ordering and Factory Support

Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when submitting a request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will validate the build before release to production. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
