Customized Grade B Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, LC/SC/FC/MU, OS2
For Tanzanian site work, correct product selection should be followed by careful transport, connector inspection and retention of the fiber records. This customized fiber patch cable is built to the precise setup the project specifies: connector styles, polish, fiber mode, jacket and length are all specified at order time and the supplied assembly is factory terminated and optically tested before dispatch.

Built to the order
The customized program covers the combinations that stock lists cannot: mixed connector families, non-standard jackets, unusual lengths, labeling and packaging to the project specification. The supplied assembly is terminated and tested exactly like a stock product, with the setup confirmed before fabrication.
Connector and polish choices in the single-mode plant
The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Because mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and can damage the ferrules, the patch side should be matched to the rack-mounted panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the connector being used 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 cords path through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in this optical assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius; thus, a hurried routing decision during a night servicing window does not automatically turn into a measurable penalty on the connection.
Length Options
Standard offerings cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 30m (98ft), with customized length supplied beyond the list. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the installed connectors.
Quality Control and Testing
Every supplied 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 supplied cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result supplied on order.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this setup by connector pair, fiber mode and length when purchasing a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the specification with the request and the factory will ensure the build before fabrication. For Tanzanian deliveries, the order details should include any site identification needed by the installation team.
