LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Short Boot OM3 Fiber Patch Cable
For Pakistani procurement and engineering teams, the specification provides a practical basis for checking compatibility before production is requested. This OM3 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM3 glass and optically tested as an entire unit. The duplex zipcord build keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one unit for fast, error-free patching.

OM3 for existing multimode plants
This OM3 unit matches the current base of OM3 link cabling: 10G links to 300 meters and 40/100G SR4 links to 70 meters. When the permanent connection is OM3, patching with OM3 keeps the link specification homogeneous and the test reports clean.
Keeping multimode links healthy
Multimode links fail more frequently from contamination than from fiber damage. Each ferrule ought to be inspected and cleaned before making the connection, and the dust caps ought to stay on until the moment of interface. These habits matter more than any specification on the datasheet.
Short boot connectors for tight spaces
The shortened boot shrinks the optical interface footprint behind this adapter panel, which matters in dense frames where the bend space behind every port is measured in millimeters. The shorter lever arm further reduces the side load on the ferrule when the cord is dressed sharply to the side.
Length Options
Catalogue lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), with custom-built length offered beyond the list. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the optical interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Every manufactured assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The installed cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result offered on specify.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this setup by connector pair, fiber mode and length when specifying a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, identification or project packing, send the specification with the request and the factory will make certain of the build before factory assembly. For Pakistan, a clear port or maintenance schedule helps us confirm the correct factory-built configuration before supply.
