DESCRIPTION
High Quality and Cost-effective IP67 LC Waterproof Fibers Optic Patch Cords
The ODVA-DLC IP67 Fiber Optic Patch Cable is engineered for robust outdoor applications, including FTTA, FTTH, industrial, and military deployments. These IP67-rated cables are optimized for the next-generation WiMax and LTE applications, supporting durable connections in remote radio heads, base stations, and other critical network infrastructure. Standard configuration is ODVA–DLC LC to LC duplex with UPC to UPC polishing. Other configurations can be supplied upon request.
When This Product Is the Right Choice
Typically selected in FTTA and CPRI deployments where ODVA-DLC sealed LC interfaces are required between RRHs and baseband or aggregation equipment.
Commonly used in outdoor base station environments where connectors are exposed to rain, dust, vibration, and temperature variation.
Suitable for installations where pre-terminated, factory-tested duplex fiber links reduce on-site assembly and commissioning risk.
Used when G.657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber is required to accommodate constrained routing near antenna units or cabinets.
Appropriate for deployments where SFP-based transceivers are directly connected through ruggedized outdoor patch assemblies.
When This Product May NOT Be Suitable
May not be appropriate for fully indoor telecom or data center environments where standard LC–LC patch cords meet all mechanical and environmental requirements.
Less suitable for applications that do not use ODVA-DLC interfaces, as the rugged connector adds cost and complexity without functional benefit.
Not typically selected for high-density indoor patch panels where frequent re-patching and compact cable management are required.
May be unsuitable in projects requiring non-LC interfaces at both ends, such as direct MPO trunk architectures without fanout.
Common Selection Mistakes to Avoid
Treating an ODVA-DLC outdoor patch cable as a generic LC duplex cord, without considering its role as a sealed outdoor interconnect.
Selecting cable diameter or structure without verifying bend routing and installation constraints at RRH or cabinet entry points.
Assuming all deployment sections require IP67 protection, rather than identifying which connection points are actually exposed.
Overlooking compatibility between ODVA-DLC interfaces and existing RRH or radio hardware, leading to mating or clearance issues.
