Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This OM4 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM4 glass and optically tested as a complete item. The uniboot design places both fibers of the duplex optical path inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the fiber cable count in space-efficient panels and simplifying polarity management.

A duplex jumper is two fibers with a defined A-to-B crossover. Getting polarity right at the cord level keeps the optical path consistent end to end, which is why these assemblies are built and tested as a pair rather than as two independent strands.
This OM4 item 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.
The uniboot design merges the duplex pair into a single round cord and a single connector housing. In a 400G row where every QSFP-DD port consumes a duplex optical path, halving the cord count visibly changes the airflow and the manageability of the patching field.
Standard size options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 8m (26ft), 10m (33ft), 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.
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.
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.
