LC APC Uniboot Duplex OS2 Single Mode LSZH High-Density Patch Cable
Categories:
Product Highlights:
-
Featuring a high-density LC APC Uniboot design, this OS2 single-mode patch cable integrates two fibers into a single 2.0mm or 3.0mm round jacket, significantly reducing cable congestion in crowded data center environments.
-
The precision-engineered APC (Angled Physical Contact) ferrules provide ultra-high return loss (≥60dB), making this cable ideal for high-speed long-haul networks and sensitive telecommunications applications where signal reflection must be minimized.

Description
The FiberMania LC APC Uniboot Duplex OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable is a premium connectivity solution engineered for high-density networking and long-distance data transmission. In modern data centers and telecom hubs, rack space is at a premium; our Uniboot design addresses this by housing two fibers within a single circular jacket. This reduces the cable volume by half compared to traditional duplex zipcord cables, facilitating improved airflow, easier cable management, and more efficient routing through high-density patch panels and switches.
At the core of this assembly is OS2 single-mode fiber (9/125μm), which is optimized for the 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Unlike multimode fiber, single-mode fiber eliminates modal dispersion, allowing data to travel over tens of kilometers without the need for signal regeneration. The connectors feature an APC polish, which introduces an 8-degree angle to the ferrule end-face. This design ensures that back-reflections are absorbed into the fiber cladding rather than traveling back toward the light source, achieving a return loss of 60dB or higher—a critical requirement for high-speed 100G/400G networks and DWDM systems.
Built for safety and durability, the cable is wrapped in a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which emits limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high heat, making it compliant with strict building safety codes. Whether connecting high-end servers, supporting FTTH last-mile delivery, or linking intercity long-haul infrastructure, FiberMania’s LC Uniboot OS2 cables deliver the mechanical robustness and optical precision necessary for mission-critical communication.

Q&A
How does the LC APC Uniboot improve airflow in high-density racks? Traditional duplex cables use two separate cables joined together, creating a large, flat surface that blocks air. The Uniboot uses a single, thin round cable, which creates more “open air” space between cables, allowing cooling fans in switches and servers to work more efficiently.
Can I reverse the polarity of this cable if my Tx/Rx ports are swapped? Yes. Our LC Uniboot connector is designed for field polarity reversal. You can switch from A-B to A-A (or vice-versa) in seconds without needing any tools or exposing the delicate glass fiber to dust or damage.
Why should I choose APC (Green) over UPC (Blue) for OS2 fiber? APC connectors feature an 8-degree angled end-face that provides a return loss of ≥60dB, compared to ≥50dB for UPC. This is critical for high-speed networks (100G+) and video systems where even small reflections can cause signal errors or damage sensitive laser transmitters.
What is the lead time for a custom batch of 500 Uniboot cables? FiberMania offers highly efficient production with a typical lead time of 3-7 days for standard custom orders. We also support 1pcs MOQ for specialized prototypes or emergency replacements.
