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 uniboot construction places the two fibers of the duplex link inside a single round 2.0mm cord with one combined connector housing, halving the cable assembly count in high-port-density panels and simplifying polarity management.
Product Highlights

- G.657.A1 Bend Insensitive Fiber with 10mm Min. Bend Radius
- Flat Clip Design Provides Additional Space Between Connectors and Improves Airflow
- Reverse Polarity without Exposing the Fibers or Needing Any Tools
- Termination Is Tested to Ensure Network Performance

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.
Where single-mode jumpers earn their place
Single-mode patching carries the links that leave the room: campus backbones, carrier handoffs, long runs between buildings and each wavelength-multiplexed service. The OS2 glass in the completed assembly is the same category used in the outside plant, which means the patch jumper does not itself become the weak point of the channel loss budget. At 1310 and 1550nm the attenuation stays a fraction of a decibel per kilometer, and the interface connector pair adds less than 0.3dB when the end faces are clean and seated.
Polarity without re-terminating
Uniboot connectors expose the polarity through the housing rather than the termination: the latches or clips let the installer swap the fiber positions without opening the cord. A polarity mistake discovered at turn-up becomes a two-minute correction instead of a replacement order. For Nigerian deployments, retaining this detail with the acceptance records supports consistent maintenance.
Length Options
Stock length choices cover the common patching routes: 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 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.
