LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Switchable Uniboot 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 uniboot build places the two fibers of the duplex connection inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the installed cable count in dense panels and simplifying polarity management.

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.
One cord, two fibers
The uniboot design merges the duplex pair into a single round cord and a single connector housing. In a 400G row where each QSFP-DD port consumes a duplex connection, halving the cord count visibly changes the airflow and the manageability of the patching field.
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.
