Custom LC/SC Duplex FTTA Outdoor Patch Cable, OS2, 7.0mm LSZH
For Pakistani procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. The custom-built duplex FTTA program builds the standard outdoor base station jumper to the precise setup of the site: LC or SC connectors in any mix, the measured path length from a few meters to full tower runs, and armored breakout lengths matched to the hardware at every end. The installed cable platform is unchanged: two OS2 9/125µm single-mode fibers of Corning G.657.A1 glass in a 7.0mm LSZH outdoor jacket, with helical steel armored branches protecting the tails and a potted, strain-relieved breakout point.

Configured around the site, not the catalog
Base station sites differ in each dimension: tower height, shelter location, enclosure type and hardware generation. A custom-built FTTA jumper takes those dimensions as input. The optical interface mix follows the actual ports on the baseband and radio sides, the length follows the measured path with working slack, and the armored breakout at every end follows the location where the trunk assembly separates into legs. The result installs without adaptors, without a service loop of surplus cable, and without field termination.
Selecting the armored breakout length
The breakout is the point where the 7.0mm trunk divides into two protected legs. A short 0.03m breakout suits a compact enclosure where the two connectors sit side by side; the standard 0.34m armored branch reaches separated ports inside a radio shroud or distribution box; a 0.2m intermediate choice covers layouts in between. Selecting the right breakout keeps each centimeter of exposed fiber inside the helical steel tube, which is where crush and rodent damage actually happen.
The same outdoor rating as the standard family
Customization changes the setup, not the engineering. The installed cable retains the 200/400N long and short-term tensile rating for pulling and vertical hanging, the 1100/2200N crush resistance, and the -20 to 70 degree Celsius operating range. G.657.A1 glass keeps the 10D static bend tolerance that congested enclosures demand, and remains compatible with current G.652.D feeder plant.
Documentation and repeatability for rollouts
For multi-site deployments, the setup is recorded once and repeated exactly: connector mix, length, breakout, identification. Crews at site fifty install the identical cord that was validated at site one, which keeps commissioning time predictable and spares planning simple. The identification scheme can observe the customer document, with leg identification at the two interfaces printed to match the site record.
Standard and custom length options
State the measured path length with the request, including the tray route and working slack at the two interfaces; the factory builds to that figure and confirms the manufacturable specification before factory assembly.
Test standards and quality control
Each custom-built cord is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested as an entire unit: insertion loss is verified against the 0.3dB ceiling and return loss against the 50dB minimum on every fan-out leg. End-face geometry is inspected on every installed connector, and the delivered cord is ready to plug into service without on-site rework.
Ordering Details and Factory Support
Send the project-specific connector mix, path length and breakout preference with the request. The factory confirms the manufacturable specification before factory assembly and keeps the setup on record for repeat orders across the rollout. For Pakistan, a clear port or maintenance schedule helps us confirm the correct factory-built configuration before supply.
