10/100BASE-T SFPLC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Push-Pull Boot Uniboot 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 LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 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
- G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius
- DirectConec™ Push-Pull Boot for Effortless Insertion and Extraction
- Reverse Polarity without Exposing the Fibers or Needing Any Tools
- Termination Is Tested To Ensure Network Performance

Where single-mode jumpers earn their place
Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and each wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in the supplied assembly is the matching section used in the outside plant; therefore, the relevant jumper 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 the relevant connector pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.
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.
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: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 30m (98ft), 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.
