10/100BASE-T SFPLC UPC to FC UPC Simplex OS2 Fiber Patch Cable
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a FC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a full item. The single-fiber design suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any optical path that carries traffic over one strand.

Connector and polish choices in the single-mode plant
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; therefore, the patch side must be compatible with the relevant panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the relevant connector housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.
Bend tolerance in real cabinets
Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Patch leads channel through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in the supplied assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; therefore, a hurried routing decision during a night service work window does not on its own turn into a measurable penalty on the optical path.
Length Options
Regular length versions cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), with made-to-order length offered beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connection interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Each optical 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 relevant cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result offered on specify.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when requisitioning a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, identification or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will cross-check the build before production is released. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
