Assembly specification

Build Your Patch Cord

Combine the four specification groups into one cable description for pricing and document review.

Step 1

Connector and Polish

Identify both connector ends and APC or UPC polish where applicable.

Step 2

Fiber Type

Specify single-mode or multimode fiber and the required fiber grade.

Step 3

Length and Polarity

Provide finished length, duplex or multi-fiber polarity and any breakout requirements.

Step 4

Installation Details

Add jacket, color, labeling, packaging, quantity and destination requirements.

Assembly paths

Choose the Connector Format

Use a standard assembly path when it fits. Send a custom specification when connector, polarity, jacket or labeling differs.

Duplex Patch Cords

Prepare the connector, polish, fiber type and finished length for duplex equipment links.

Request a duplex cord

MPO / MTP Assemblies

Plan trunk or breakout assemblies with connector gender, polarity, fiber count and length.

Review MPO applications

Custom Cable Assemblies

Send connector ends, jacket, labeling, length, quantity and packaging requirements.

Handling and selection

Patch Cord Guidance

Patch Cord Handling

Review practical handling guidance for optical patch cords.

APC vs UPC

Compare common connector polish choices before defining an assembly.

Project Documents

Request available drawings, inspection information or model-specific documentation.
