For Nigerian deployments, this product should be evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. This OS2 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OS2 glass and optically tested as a whole assembly. The duplex zipcord construction keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one assembly for fast, error-free patching.

Connector and polish choices in the single-mode plant
The OS2 interface on this jumper follows the polish discipline of the network it serves. Mixing polishes on a mated pair destroys the return loss and might damage the ferrules, which means the patch side must correspond to the rack panel side exactly. When the documentation is unclear, the boot color and the interface connector housing tell the truth: green for APC, blue or beige for UPC.
Bend tolerance in real cabinets
Patch fields are rarely kind to fiber. Cords route through tight managers, sharp tray corners and crowded vertical channels. The bend-insensitive glass in the completed assembly tolerates a 10mm fiber bend radius, which means a hurried routing decision during a night maintenance window does not itself turn into a measurable penalty on the link.
Length Options
Stock length choices cover the common patching routes: 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), with made-to-order length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connector interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Every cable 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 cable assembly ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result available on request.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length at the request stage a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will establish the build before the build starts. For Nigerian orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
