LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Flat Clip Uniboot OM4, 2.0mm, ofnr 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 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 complete unit. The uniboot build places both fibers of the duplex connection inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the supplied cable count in density-optimized 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 link consistent end to end, which is why these assemblies are built and tested as a pair rather than as two independent strands.
Multimode reach for the data hall
This OM4 unit 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. For Tanzanian site work, keep this requirement with the field checklist and the delivered product records.
Length Options
Standard offerings cover the common patching routes: 0.5m (1.6ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft), 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.
