1F, LC UPC Simplex to SC APC Simplex, Riser (OFCR), OS2, Armored, 3.0mm
The armored fiber patch cable with built-in metal armor can resist mechanical damage from crushing, abrasion, cutting, and pulling in the most hazardous areas. It can protect fibers and prevent network outages. Armor construction eliminates the need for conduit to provide a smaller crush resistant pathway for improved design flexibility and lower installed cost.

FAQ
Q1. What is an LC UPC to SC APC armored fiber patch cable?
An LC UPC to SC APC armored fiber patch cable is a factory-terminated single-fiber (simplex) jumper with an LC UPC connector (blue) on one end and an SC APC connector (green) on the other, built with a 3.0mm interlocked steel armor layer and OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125μm, G.652.D). Supplied directly by KEXINT — an armored fiber patch cable manufacturer and exporter — each unit is 100% factory-tested before shipment, making it a reliable choice for wholesale buyers and engineering contractors.
Q2. Why should I use a hybrid LC UPC to SC APC armored patch cord?
Modern active equipment — switches, routers and SFP+/QSFP optical transceivers — typically uses LC UPC interfaces, while PON networks (OLT, ONU, ODF panels) commonly use SC APC interfaces. This hybrid armored patch cord bridges both systems in a single cable: no adapter conversion, no field polishing, and no risk of damaging ferrule faces by directly mating UPC with APC. It is the practical, low-loss answer for mixed-infrastructure migration projects.
Q3. What optical performance does this OS2 single mode armored jumper deliver?
Typical factory-tested values: Insertion Loss ≤ 0.3 dB; Return Loss ≥ 50 dB on the LC UPC end and ≥ 60 dB on the SC APC end. The OS2 fiber supports 1310nm and 1550nm transmission with typical attenuation of ≤ 0.4 dB/km @ 1310nm and ≤ 0.3 dB/km @ 1550nm — performance suitable for data center, telecom and FTTH links. Batch test reports are supplied with every export order.
Q4. How does the built-in metal armor protect the fiber from damage?
The interlocked steel tape armor forms a rigid protective shell around the fiber that resists crushing, abrasion, cutting, pulling and rodent damage — the leading causes of fiber breaks and network outages in hazardous areas. Because the armor eliminates the need for conduit, installers get a smaller crush-resistant pathway, greater design flexibility and lower installed cost compared with conduit-based cabling.
Q5. Where are armored fiber patch cables typically installed?
Typical applications include data centers and server rooms, telecom rooms, FTTH/FTTB buildings, industrial plants and factory automation, mining and heavy industry, security/surveillance systems, and vertical riser shafts. Any route exposed to foot traffic, equipment movement or pulling during installation and maintenance benefits from armored construction.
Q6. What does Riser (OFCR) mean and why does it matter for building projects?
OFCR (Optical Fiber Communication Cable, Riser) is the UL 1666 flame rating for cables approved for vertical riser and building pathway installation between floors. Specifying a riser-rated armored patch cable helps your project pass fire-code inspection and is often a mandatory requirement in commercial and multi-tenant building tenders.
Q7. Can KEXINT provide custom lengths, connectors and OEM/ODM service?
Yes. KEXINT, as an experienced armored fiber patch cord factory, offers full customization: any cable length, connector combinations (LC/SC/FC/ST × UPC/APC), PVC or LSZH jacket, jacket colors, label and packaging design, and private-label/OEM production. Custom and standard configurations are both welcome — send your spec sheet for a factory-direct quotation.
Q8. What is the MOQ and lead time for wholesale or bulk orders?
MOQ is kept low to support first trial orders, and free samples are available for evaluation. Standard items ship fast from stock; custom orders have short lead times. Wholesale and bulk pricing is offered to distributors and system integrators, with secure packaging (bubble wrap + export cartons, or spools for long lengths) ready for international shipping.
Q9. What certifications and test documentation are provided?
Products are manufactured under an ISO 9001 quality system and available with UL (OFCR) compliance and RoHS compliance documentation. Each batch ships with insertion loss/return loss test reports and fiber type certification — full English documentation is provided to support your export and project-compliance requirements.
Q10. How do I choose a reliable armored fiber patch cable supplier?
Evaluate the supplier on four points: manufacturing qualification (ISO 9001, fire ratings), test data transparency, customization capability, and delivery lead time. KEXINT is a source factory that supports third-party factory audits and pre-shipment inspection, offers a product warranty, and provides responsive after-sales support — the combination buyers need for repeat, worry-free procurement.
