Build the right assembly
Start with the interface and route.
Match the cable to both endpoints and the installed link. Supply the following details when requesting a finished assembly.
01Connector on each end
02OS2 or OM fiber grade
03UPC or APC polish where applicable
04Simplex/duplex, jacket and finished length

Specifications and available configurations
Figures apply to the product family shown. Confirm the final connector combination and applicable limits in the order specification.
Deployment context
Where this assembly fits
Patch panels and ODFs
Connectorised fibre presentation inside distribution hardware.
Equipment termination
Single-ended leads selected to match the adapter and fibre type.
Connector selectionMatch LC, SC, ST or FC to the panel adapter and specify UPC or APC where applicable.
Fibre selectionConfirm single-mode or multimode fibre and the required colour identification.
InstallationProtect the connector end during routing and clean it immediately before mating.
Connector handling
Protect the end face and verify polarity.
Keep protective caps fitted until use. Inspect and clean both ends before mating, then confirm connector orientation and the end-to-end optical path.
Read the handling guideUse a 1.25 mm cleaner for LC or a 2.5 mm cleaner for SC, ST and FC. Reinspect after cleaning.
Align the key with the adapter. LC and SC latch or push into place; ST and FC use their specified bayonet or threaded coupling.
Where the selected uniboot connector supports field reversal, open the housing as instructed for that model, change the A-B orientation, close it and verify both channels.
Route the cable without twisting or exceeding the specified bend radius. Protect connectors during pulling and removal.
Link planning
Fiber grade and optical interface work together.
Representative Ethernet distances help frame selection; the transceiver datasheet, installed-link loss and applicable standard determine the supported reach.
| Rate | Interface | Fiber | Wavelength | Representative reach |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1G | 1000BASE-SX | OM2 / OM3 / OM4 | 850 nm | 550 m |
| 1G | 1000BASE-LX | OS2 | 1310 nm | 10 km |
| 10G | 10GBASE-SR | OM3 / OM4 | 850 nm | 300 / 400 m |
| 10G | 10GBASE-LR | OS2 | 1310 nm | 10 km |
| 40G | 40GBASE-SR4 | OM3 / OM4 | 850 nm | 100 / 150 m |
| 100G | 100GBASE-SR4 | OM3 / OM4 | 850 nm | 70 / 100 m |
For MTP/MPO assemblies, confirm lane count, polarity and the exact parallel-optics interface in addition to fiber grade.
Product questions
Frequently asked questions
What should I specify before ordering?
Confirm the connector on both ends, fiber grade, polish, simplex or duplex construction, jacket, finished length and quantity.
Does the patch cord determine the maximum link distance?
No. Supported reach depends on the transceiver interface, fiber grade, installed-link loss and applicable standard. The distance table is a selection reference, not a guarantee for every link.
How should the connector be prepared?
Keep caps fitted until use. Inspect both ferrules, clean with a connector-appropriate tool and re-inspect before mating. Avoid touching the end face.
Can I request test or inspection information?
Yes. Share the exact configuration and the required evidence with the RFQ. The available test scope and document format are confirmed for the selected order.
Project enquiry
Confirm your cable configuration.
Include both connector ends, fiber grade, length, jacket, quantity, destination and any polarity, label or documentation needs.
