Q1: What is the advantage of the uniboot LC-LC duplex design?
The uni-boot design combines two fibers into a single jacket, can significantly reduce cable bulk compared to standard duplex patch cords (depending on cable OD and routing method). This improves airflow and cable management in high-density data centers.
Q2: How does the pull tab feature help during installation?
The integrated pull tab allows easy insertion and removal of the connector from high-density panels without needing additional tools, minimizing the risk of damaging adjacent connectors.
Q3: Is this patch cord available in both single-mode and multimode options?
Yes. It is available in OS2 single-mode for long-distance telecom networks, and OM3/OM4/OM5 multimode for short-distance, high-speed data center applications.
Q4: What jacket materials are available?
Options include LSZH for safety in indoor environments, PVC for general use, and OFNR/OFNP for riser or plenum applications requiring compliance with fire safety codes.
Q5: How are the patch cords tested before shipping?
Each patch cord undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss (≤0.3 dB typical) and return loss (≥50 dB UPC / ≥60 dB APC) to ensure high performance and reliability.
Q6: Can the patch cords be customized?
Yes. Length, jacket color, connector type (UPC/APC), labeling, and packaging can all be customized according to project requirements.
Q7: What are the typical application scenarios?
These cords are widely used in data centers, enterprise IT networks, FTTH, and telecom systems where high-density and efficient cable management are critical.
Q8: What is the standard delivery time?
Standard lengths are usually available from stock for fast shipment. Customized orders typically take 3–7 working days depending on volume and specifications.
