Description
The LC Uniboot Short Tail Duplex OM3 Multimode fiber patch cable is a cutting-edge connectivity solution specifically designed for space-constrained networking environments. Unlike traditional duplex cables that use two separate zipcord jackets, the uniboot design integrates both fiber cores into a single 2.0mm round jacket. This structural shift reduces the cable volume by half, which is essential for improving airflow and cooling efficiency within crowded server racks and high-density patch panels.
The “Short Tail” feature refers to a significantly shortened connector boot, which reduces the overall depth of the connector. This makes it the ideal choice for shallow-depth wall-mount enclosures or high-density switches where standard-length boots might interfere with cabinet doors or cable management trays. Despite its compact size, the connector provides a secure, reliable physical connection through a precise LC UPC structure, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of optical communication equipment and SFP+ modules.
In terms of optical performance, this patch cord utilizes 50/125μm OM3 multimode fiber optimized for 850nm VCSEL light sources. It supports 10Gbps Ethernet transmission over distances up to 300 meters, making it perfectly suited for data center interconnections, high-definition monitoring, and enterprise LAN backbones. The use of bend-insensitive fiber ensures that the signal remains stable even when the cable is subjected to tight bends during installation, while the OFNR-rated jacket provides the necessary fire resistance for vertical riser applications.

FAQ
What is the main advantage of the “Short Tail” boot? The short tail boot is designed to fit into shallow cabinets where a standard-length connector might be too long to allow the cabinet door to close properly. It provides a more compact profile without sacrificing performance.
Does FiberMania provide testing reports for these cables? Yes, every patch cord manufactured by FiberMania undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss and return loss. Individual test results are available upon request to guarantee the highest quality.
Can I reverse the polarity of this uniboot cable? Yes, our uniboot connectors are designed to allow for easy, tool-less polarity reversal in the field. This allows you to switch between A-to-B and A-to-A configurations to match your equipment requirements.
Is 2.0mm the standard diameter for these cables? 2.0mm is the most popular size for high-density uniboot cables as it offers the best balance of space savings and durability. However, we can also provide 3.0mm diameters if required for your specific application.
