Custom LC/SC Simplex 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 simplex FTTA program builds the single-fiber outdoor base station jumper to the precise setup of the connection: LC or SC connectors in any mix, the measured path length, and an armored branch length matched to the exposed section at every end. It serves the bidirectional and single-fiber optics increasingly used on radio units, where one strand carries the two directions of traffic. The platform is the proven FTTA outdoor build: one OS2 9/125µm single-mode fiber of Corning G.657.A1 glass in a 7.0mm LSZH jacket with helical steel armored protection over the tails.

A custom cord for single-fiber radio links
Bidirectional optics place transmit and receive on one strand, and therefore the optical jumper between the baseband hardware and the radio needs exactly one fiber. Ordering that jumper as a bespoke simplex cord matches the hardware precisely: the optical interface at every end follows the actual port, the length follows the measured path, and nothing is left over. Compared with adapting a duplex cord, the bespoke simplex build removes the parked leg, halves the optical interface count on the record, and keeps the tower installation as light as it can also be.
Connector freedom at both ends
Radio units, enclosures and frames present LC and SC interfaces depending on vendor and generation. The bespoke program terminates any mix of LC and SC on the identical outdoor platform, polished and tested in the factory. A site that evolves from SC-based enclosures to LC-based radios is served by one cord with LC on one end and SC on the other, with no adaptors in the signal path and no supplementary mated pair in the power budget.
Outdoor mechanics unchanged
The custom-built cord keeps the full outdoor rating of the standard FTTA series: 200/400N long and short-term tensile strength for pulling and vertical hanging, 1100/2200N crush resistance, helical steel armored branches over the exposed tails, and an operating range from -20 to 70 degrees Celsius. The G.657.A1 fiber holds attenuation stable at the 10D static bends that appear inside congested enclosures and radio shrouds.
Repeatability across the rollout
For operators deploying the identical radio setup across various sites, the custom-built cord is specified once and repeated exactly: connector mix, length, armored branch and identification. Each site receives the identical unit, commissioning follows the identical steps, and the spares holding stays minimal since one recorded setup covers the whole fleet.
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
Every custom-built simplex 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. End-face geometry is inspected on every installed connector so the delivered cord can also be plugged into service without on-site rework.
Ordering Details and Factory Support
Send the project-specific connector mix, path length and armored branch 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.
