Armored Fiber Patch Cable — 2F LC UPC Duplex to LC UPC Duplex, OS2, Riser (OFCR), 3.0mm — Factory Direct
Our armored fiber patch cable features a built-in metal armor layer that effectively resists mechanical damage from crushing, abrasion, cutting, and pulling in the most hazardous installation areas, protecting the fibers inside and preventing network outages. The armored construction eliminates the need for conduit, providing a smaller, crush-resistant pathway that offers greater design flexibility and a lower installed cost — ideal for data centers, FTTH, campus networks, and industrial applications.

FAQ
1. What is an armored fiber patch cable?
An armored fiber patch cable is a fiber optic jumper with a built-in metal armor layer that protects the fibers from crushing, abrasion, cutting, and rodent damage in hazardous environments. Unlike standard patch cords, it needs no conduit, providing a smaller, crush-resistant pathway and a lower installed cost — widely used in data centers, FTTH, industrial sites, and outdoor applications.
2. What does "2F LC UPC Duplex to LC UPC Duplex" mean?
It means the cable contains 2 fibers terminated with LC connectors on both ends, using UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish for low insertion loss, in a duplex (two-fiber) design. Combined with the OS2 single-mode grade, it supports high-speed, long-distance transmission with excellent return loss performance.
3. What is the difference between OS2 single mode and OM3 multimode armored patch cords?
OS2 single mode (9/125μm) is designed for long-distance transmission up to 10km and beyond, ideal for backbone networks, WAN, and campus links. OM3 multimode (50/125μm) suits short-reach applications like data center patching (up to 300m at 10G). We supply both as a factory, and our team can recommend the right grade for your project.
4. Why choose an armored patch cable instead of a standard one?
The built-in metal armor resists crushing, abrasion, cutting, and pulling forces that would break standard cables, preventing costly network outages. It also eliminates the need for conduit, saving installation material and labor, improving design flexibility, and reducing total installed cost — especially valuable in industrial and high-traffic areas.
5. What does Riser (OFCR) rating mean?
Riser (OFCR) means the cable jacket meets flame-retardant safety requirements for vertical riser spaces between floors in buildings. It complies with fire codes and is safe to run inside walls and riser shafts, making it a certified choice for commercial and residential installations.
6. Can you provide OEM/ODM customized armored patch cables?
Yes. As an experienced manufacturer, we offer full OEM/ODM services: custom length, jacket and armor color, connector types, polishing options, logo printing, and private label packaging. Send us your drawings or sample, and we will produce to your exact specification.
7. What is your MOQ, and can we get factory-direct wholesale pricing?
Our MOQ is flexible and can be adjusted based on your order volume and specifications. As a factory-direct supplier, we offer competitive wholesale pricing with volume discounts for distributors, resellers, and project buyers. Contact us with your quantity for a tailored quote.
8. Do you provide free samples before placing a bulk order?
Yes, we provide samples for quality verification before mass production. Samples can be produced to your required length and connector type, allowing you to test performance and compatibility before committing to a wholesale order.
9. How do you guarantee product quality?
Every cable is 100% factory tested before shipment, including insertion loss, return loss, and tensile strength. Our production complies with ISO quality management, and our products are CE and RoHS certified. Test reports and certificates are available upon request for your project documentation.
10. What is your lead time and shipping for bulk orders?
Samples are typically ready within 3–5 days, and bulk orders within 7–15 days depending on quantity and customization. We ship worldwide via DHL, FedEx, UPS, or sea freight with secure export packaging to ensure safe delivery.
