MDC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Push-Pull Boot Uniboot OS2 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 OS2 fiber patch cable carries a MDC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 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.

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.
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 every wavelength-multiplexed service. Because the OS2 glass in this optical assembly is the identical group used in the outside plant, the installed jumper 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 the connector being used pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.
One cord, two fibers
The uniboot design merges the duplex pair into a single round cord and a single connector housing. In a 400G row where every QSFP-DD port consumes a duplex connection, halving the cord count visibly changes the airflow and the manageability of the patching field.
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.
