10/100BASE-T SFPLC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Flat Clip Uniboot OM4, 2.0mm, ofnr 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 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 full item. The uniboot design places the two fibers of the duplex optical path inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the relevant cable count in high-density panels and simplifying polarity management.
Product Highlights
- Uniboot Allows One Cable to Carry Two Fibers to Reduce Cable Congestion in High-Density Patch Fields
- Bend Insensitive Fiber with 7.5mm Min. Bend Radius
- Flat Clip Design Provides Additional Space Between Connectors and Improves Airflow
- Reverse Polarity without Exposing the Fibers or Needing Any Tools
- Termination Is Tested to Ensure Network Performance

Polarity and pairing in duplex links
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 standalone strands.
Multimode reach for the data hall
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.
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. New Zealand project teams can retain this information with the as-built documentation for later review.
Length Options
Regular length versions cover the common patching routes: 0.5m (1.6ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft), 5m (16ft), 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.
