LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex OS2 OFNR 24F Indoor Breakout Cable
For Tanzanian site work, correct product selection should be followed by careful transport, connector inspection and retention of the fiber records. This pre-terminated breakout cable delivers a complete 24-fiber indoor connection in one factory-built unit: an OS2 single-mode trunk on a riser (OFNR) jacket opens into duplex LC UPC legs at each end, every leg optically tested before packing. It replaces a full day of field termination with a single plug-in installation.

Bend-insensitive glass in real pathways
Backbone routes turn through tight tray corners, congested risers and crowded vertical channels. Because the G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fiber in this optical assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius, a hurried routing decision during a night servicing window does not automatically turn into a measurable penalty on the connection. 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 every wavelength-multiplexed service in between. Because the glass is the identical group used in the outside plant, the supplied assembly does not automatically become the weak point of the optical link budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and each 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 connection: sufficient lanes for a full panel with spares, still light sufficient for two technicians to path without mechanical help. Factory termination means every one of the 48 connector end faces is polished, inspected and tested before the supplied cable ships, a level of consistency that field termination on a ladder rarely reaches.
Duplex legs for duplex optics
Since the optics they serve are duplex: transmit and receive travel jointly from trunk to port, the legs are built as duplex pairs. Because polarity is fixed at the factory and verified before packing, the installer dresses each 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 this optical assembly run vertically between floors without a conduit of its own. Because the tight-buffered build inside keeps each fiber individually protected, the installed trunk tolerates the handling of a riser pull and the dressing inside the floor distributor. For routes that leave the riser-rated pathway, the customized versions of this series 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-region outlets, or a building entrance splitter shelf. In each case the arithmetic is the identical - one pull, one dressing operation, twelve tested duplex links - and the alternative is twelve separate patch cords with twelve times the pathway fill and twelve times the labeling effort.
Planning a trunk route
A multi-fiber trunk is planned once and installed once; thus, the planning deserves the hour it takes. Measure the path through the actual containment, note the bend space at both connector ends, and decide which end gets pulled. State the pulling eye specification with the order if the path is long or congested. At the far end, leave the dressing slack the rack-mounted panel or cassette needs - the datasheet breakout lengths are the default, and other geometries are confirmed before fabrication.
Fiber Count Choices
This build is built with 24 Fibers per trunk, terminated and tested as a complete unit.
Custom Lengths as Standard Practice
Standard offerings cover the common routes: 2m (7ft), 10m (33ft), with customized length supplied beyond the list, including foot-based builds for projects specified in imperial units. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the tray and the strain off the installed connectors.
Factory Quality Control and Testing
Every trunk is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested leg by leg before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each fiber, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The supplied assembly ships with dust caps on every connector used and the test results supplied on order.
Purchase and Factory Support
Refer to this setup by fiber mode, fiber count, connector pair, breakout geometry and length when purchasing a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options - mixed connector families, jacket ratings, pulling eye, 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.
