2F, LC UPC Duplex to LC UPC Duplex, Riser (OFCR), OM3, 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 2-fiber armored fiber patch cable terminated with LC/UPC duplex connectors on both ends. It uses OM3 multimode fiber (50/125µm, Aqua color), has a 3.0mm armored outer jacket rated Riser (OFCR), and is designed for reliable, rugged fiber patching in data centers, enterprise networks and industrial environments. Key specs: 2 fibers, LC/UPC duplex to LC/UPC duplex, 3.0mm armored jacket, OFCR flame rating, Aqua color, 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. Full technical datasheet and spec sheet are available on request for your procurement or engineering review.
Q2. What are its main applications? Typical applications include: data center structured cabling, top-of-rack and end-of-row patching, server/switch connectivity, storage area networks (SAN), campus backbone patching, FTTA (fiber-to-the-antenna), industrial automation, and any environment where cables face physical stress, foot traffic or rodent risk. It is a popular choice for telecom and network project contractors sourcing durable patch cords in bulk.
Q3. Why choose an armored patch cable instead of a standard one? The spiral-wrapped stainless-steel interlock armor provides roughly 10x the mechanical protection of a standard PVC/LSZH patch cord — high crush resistance, tensile strength and rodent/abrasion protection. It lasts longer in harsh environments, reduces downtime from accidental damage, and is proven for field installation by contractors (pulling through conduits and cable trays). For wholesale buyers and system integrators, this means fewer field failures, lower replacement costs and better end-customer satisfaction.
Q4. What speeds and distances does OM3 support?
OM3 supports 10GBASE-SR up to 300m at 850nm, and 40GBASE-SR4 / 100GBASE-SR4 up to 100m. It is fully backward-compatible with lower-speed multimode applications (1G/10G Ethernet, Fibre Channel 8/16G, InfiniBand SDR/DDR/QDR), and can connect to any multimode LC-based equipment. When mixed with OM4 or OM2 fiber, the link performance follows the lowest-rated segment. This makes it a cost-effective fiber optic patch cable wholesale solution for mixed-speed data center upgrades.
Q5. What are the optical performance values?
Insertion loss (per connector): ≤0.3dB (typical 0.15dB)
Return loss (UPC, multimode): ≥30dB
Attenuation: ≤3.5dB/km @850nm, ≤1.5dB/km @1300nm
100% factory tested; individual test reports (with measurement data) are provided with every batch for quality audits.
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. The armored metal layer classifies this cable as conductive (C), which is fully compliant and expected for armored assemblies. 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 cabinets, industrial and mining project suppliers.
Q7. What are the design details (diameter, color, polarity)?
3.0mm outer diameter: a compact yet robust profile — small enough to fit standard patch panels, trays and cable managers, thick enough to carry the armor layer; the most common armored patch cord size in the OEM/ODM market.
Aqua color: the industry-standard color for OM3 (and OM4) multimode fiber per TIA-598, making fiber type instantly identifiable and reducing the risk of mixing multimode with singlemode in large-scale deployments.
Polarity: standard duplex assembly (A keyed-up / B keyed-down), matching TIA-568 polarity method A for LC duplex links. Polarity B and custom configurations (e.g. A-A) are available for 40G/100G parallel-optics breakouts.
Q8. Can the cable be customized (OEM/ODM)?
Yes. We offer custom lengths (any exact meter), other connector combinations (SC, FC, ST, MPO/MTP breakouts), single-mode versions, LSZH outer jacket, color options, branch/custom cable marks, 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 (polarity, length, labeling) is offered for B2B 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.
