1F, SC UPC Simplex to SC UPC 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 this product and what are its key specifications?
This is a 1-fiber armored fiber patch cable terminated with SC/UPC simplex connectors on both ends. It uses OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125µm), has a 3.0mm armored outer jacket rated Riser (OFCR), and is designed for long-reach, rugged fiber connections in the most demanding environments. Key specs: 1 fiber, SC/UPC simplex to SC/UPC simplex, OS2 single mode, 3.0mm metal-armored jacket, OFCR flame rating, customizable length (0.5m – 100m+). KEXINT is a professional fiber optic patch cable manufacturer and supplier, offering factory-direct pricing for standard and custom assemblies.
Q2. What are its main applications?
Typical applications include: data center structured cabling, metropolitan and campus backbone networks, WAN/telecom room patching, ODF (optical distribution frame) connections, FTTA (fiber-to-the-antenna), single-mode transceiver patching (10G/25G/40G/100G), and industrial field installations where cables face physical stress, foot traffic or rodent risk. It is a popular choice for telecom operators, system integrators and project contractors sourcing durable patch cords in bulk.
Q3. Why choose an armored single-mode patch cable?
The built-in metal armor resists mechanical damage from crushing, abrasion, cutting and pulling in the most hazardous areas — protecting the fiber and preventing costly network outages. Armor construction eliminates the need for conduit, providing a smaller crush-resistant pathway for improved design flexibility and lower installed cost. For wholesale buyers and network operators, this means fewer field failures, less downtime and a lower total cost of ownership.
Q4. What are the performance capabilities of OS2 single-mode fiber?
OS2 fiber (G.652D, 9/125µm) delivers ultra-low attenuation: ≤0.40dB/km @1310nm and ≤0.35dB/km @1550nm, with zero water peak performance across the full transmission window. It supports long-reach links from a few kilometers to tens of kilometers at 1G/10G/25G Ethernet, and 40G/100G LR4/ER4 — ideal for backbone and metro applications where distance matters.
Q5. What are the optical performance values?
Insertion loss (per connector): ≤0.3dB (typical 0.15–0.20dB)
Return loss (UPC, single mode): ≥50dB
Attenuation: ≤0.40dB/km @1310nm, ≤0.35dB/km @1550nm
100% factory tested; individual test reports (with measurement data) are provided with every batch for quality audits and importer compliance checks.
Q6. What do Riser (OFCR) and the operating environment mean?
OFCR stands for Optical Fiber Cable, Riser, Conductive. It passes the UL 1666 riser flame test and is approved for vertical runs between floors (riser spaces) in buildings — a key requirement for building cabling projects and compliance-driven tenders. Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C; storage: -40°C to +85°C. The armored design also withstands high crush loads, making it a reliable choice for outdoor cabinet, industrial and mining project suppliers.
Q7. Why SC/UPC simplex connectors?
SC/UPC is the industry-standard interface for single-mode patching in ODF, patch panels, optical transceivers and test equipment. The simplex (single-fiber) design matches single-fiber SC transceivers and is used where each fiber is terminated individually. UPC polish provides low insertion loss and ≥50dB return loss, suitable for most networks (APC polish also available for high-reflection-sensitive applications such as RFoG/GPON).
Q8. Can the cable be customized (OEM/ODM)?
Yes. We offer custom lengths (any exact meter), other connector combinations (LC, FC, ST, SC/APC or duplex assemblies), 2-fiber versions, LSZH outer jacket, color options and OEM/ODM private label with your logo printed on the boot, label or packaging. Custom quotations are issued within 24 hours, and custom assembly service (length, polarity, labeling) is offered for B2B and wholesale orders.
Q9. How is quality controlled and what certifications does it carry?
Each cable is 100% optically tested (insertion loss, return loss, continuity, polarity) before packing, with QC records archived for 3 years and end-face inspection per IEC 61300-3-35. The product line is manufactured in an ISO 9001:2015 certified factory, compliant with RoHS and REACH, rated OFCR per UL 1666, and designed to meet TIA-568.3-D, IEC 61754 and Telcordia GR-326 requirements. Certificates (ISO, RoHS, UL, test reports) are provided to support export compliance and customs clearance in most markets.
Q10. What are the MOQ, lead time, packaging, warranty and after-sales terms?
Standard lengths are stocked for fast delivery (1–3 days). Custom lengths: MOQ 100 pcs, lead time 5–10 days. Samples are available for evaluation; sample price applies and is refundable against bulk orders. Each cord is individually bagged with protective caps and labels, packed in export cartons (or on spools for long lengths), and shipped worldwide via express (DHL/FedEx/UPS), air or sea, FOB/CIF/DDP terms available — mixed-container loading is supported for multi-SKU wholesale orders. We provide a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects with free replacement, plus installation and fiber-testing technical support, and distributor/reseller programs with territory support for long-term partners. Volume-based factory pricing makes it attractive for distributors and project-based procurement.
