LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex OS2 OFNR 24F Indoor Breakout Cable

New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. This pre-terminated breakout cable delivers a full 24-fiber indoor optical path in one factory-built item: an OS2 single-mode trunk on a riser (OFNR) jacket opens into duplex LC UPC legs at every end, each leg optically tested before packing. It replaces a full day of field termination with a single plug-in deployment.

Specifications

Bend-insensitive glass in real pathways

Backbone routes turn through tight tray corners, congested risers and crowded vertical channels. The G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber 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. The glass remains fully compatible with the G.652.D plant it connects to.

Single-mode trunks for building and campus backbones

A pre-terminated OS2 trunk carries the links that leave the room: riser spans between floors, campus backbones between buildings and each wavelength-multiplexed service in between. The glass is the matching section used in the outside plant; therefore, this manufactured assembly does not on its own become the weak point of the loss-budget calculation. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and every factory-polished connector adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.

A complete 24-fiber link in one assembly

Twenty-four fibers is the practical size for a row feed or a floor distribution optical path: adequate lanes for a full panel with spares, still light adequate for two installation teams to channel without mechanical help. Factory termination means each one of the 48 connector end faces is polished, inspected and tested before the relevant cable ships, a level of consistency that field termination on a ladder rarely reaches.

Duplex legs for duplex optics

The legs are built as duplex pairs given that the optics they serve are duplex: transmit and receive travel as one system from trunk to port. Polarity is fixed at the factory and verified before packing; therefore, the installer dresses every pair into its port without a second thought about crossover.

Riser jacket for the vertical route

The riser (OFNR) jacket is the rating that lets the supplied assembly run vertically between floors without a conduit of its own. The tight-buffered design inside keeps every fiber individually protected; therefore, the relevant trunk tolerates the handling of a riser pull and the dressing inside the floor distributor. For routes that leave the riser-rated pathway, the made-to-order versions of this product line carry LSZH and plenum options.

From row feed to floor distribution

The natural homes of a 24-fiber duplex-leg trunk are the feeds that terminate as ports: a row of twelve duplex server or switch links, a floor distributor feeding twelve work-space outlets, or a building entrance splitter shelf. In every case the arithmetic is the matching - one pull, one dressing operation, twelve tested duplex links - and the alternative is twelve individual patch leads with twelve times the pathway fill and twelve times the identification effort.

Planning a trunk route

Because a multi-fiber trunk is planned once and fitted once, the planning deserves the hour it takes. Measure the channel through the actual containment, note the bend space at the two connection points, and decide which end gets pulled. State the pulling eye requirement with the order if the channel is long or congested. At the far end, leave the dressing slack the relevant panel or cassette needs - the datasheet breakout lengths are the default, and other geometries are confirmed before production is released.

Specifying the Fiber Count

This design is built with 24 Fibers per trunk, terminated and tested as a full item.

Length Range and Customization

Regular length versions cover the common routes: 2m (7ft), 10m (33ft), with made-to-order length offered beyond the list, including foot-based builds for projects specified in imperial units. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the tray and the strain off the connection interfaces.

Optical Testing and Quality Checks

Each trunk is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested leg by leg before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every fiber, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. This manufactured assembly ships with dust caps on each relevant connector and the test results offered on specify.

How to Specify and Order

Refer to this design by fiber mode, fiber count, connector pair, breakout geometry and length when requisitioning a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options - mixed connector families, jacket ratings, pulling eye, 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.
