LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex OM1 Fiber Patch Cable
For Tanzanian site work, correct product selection should be followed by careful transport, connector inspection and retention of the fiber records. This OM1 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM1 glass and optically tested as a complete unit. The duplex zipcord build keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one unit for fast, error-free patching.

Matching the installed base
When a legacy connection fails, the correct repair is a cord that matches the installed fiber grade. Because patching OM1 with OM3 introduces a core-size transition that adds unpredictable loss, keeping a small stock of the right legacy jumpers is cheaper than fault finding a mismatched one.
Legacy multimode for installed systems
OM1 and OM2 cabling remains in service in industrial controls, building automation and older campus networks. This optical assembly matches that plant: the 62.5/125 or 50/125 core mates correctly with the existing infrastructure, avoiding the modal mismatch that mixing core sizes would create.
Length Options
Standard offerings cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 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.
