Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cords | LC/SC/FC/ST & MPO Trunks

Our single-mode fiber patch cords are engineered for ultra-low insertion loss, excellent return loss, and longevity in demanding environments such as data centers, telecom rooms, and FTTH deployments. Options include LC, SC, FC, ST simplex and duplex jumpers; MPO/MTP trunks and harnesses; armored and uniboot designs. Precision connectors with UPC or APC polish are paired with bend-insensitive G.652D and G.657A/B fibers. Jackets available in LSZH, PVC, or OFNR/OFNP to suit safety code requirements.

Why Choose Our Single-Mode Patch Cords

Superior Optical Performance: Precision-polished endfaces and controlled geometry ensure high return loss for sensitive optical equipment.

100% Factory Tested: Each cord undergoes insertion and return loss testing; serial-numbered test reports available on request.

Variety of Configurations: Choose from uniboot LC for high-density setups, push-pull tabs for easy access, custom-length MPO/MTP trunks, or armored versions for rugged use.

Safety-Rated Jackets: LSZH for low-smoke environments, plenum and riser rated (OFNP/OFNR) for compliance, or standard PVC for general use.

OEM/ODM Customization: Custom printing, color assignments, polarity, lengths, labels, and packaging tailored to your brand or project requirements.

Product Types

LC / SC / FC / ST Simplex & Duplex Jumpers

Available in G.652D or bend-insensitive G.657 fiber, with UPC or APC polish. Uniboot LC minimizes bulk; quick polarity reversal options available.

Use Cases: ODF to transceiver linking, FTTH patch panels, telecom racks.

MPO/MTP Trunks & Cassette Harnesses

Available in 8/12/16/24 fibers, with LC/SC breakout harnesses. Support for polarity Method A/B/C and pinned/unpinned configurations to match your MTP infrastructure.

Use Cases: High-speed spine-leaf fabrics, QSFP+/QSFP-DD deployment, modular cassette systems.

Armored Patch Cords

Optional stainless steel or spiral armor under the jacket for extra protection in floor ducts or high-traffic areas while maintaining patch-length flexibility.

Use Cases: Raised flooring, shared pathways, airport/backbone cabling.

Pigtails & Specialty Cables

0.9 mm pigtails for splicing into splice trays; mode-conditioning pigtails for legacy multimode systems using single-mode drops.

Use Cases: ODF installations, mixed fiber infrastructure support.

FAQ

Q1: Sample available?

YES!

Q2: Do you provide test reports per cable?

Yes. Every single patch cord is tested for IL/RL and endface quality. You can request reports tied to serial numbers or QR codes printed on the jacket or label.

Q3: How do I specify MPO/MTP polarity?

We support Methods A/B/C with pinned or unpinned options. Provide your cassette or transceiver layout and we will preconfigure the correct cable to match your installation.

Q4: Can you supply plenum-rated cords?

Yes. We offer OFNP (plenum) and OFNR (riser) rated jackets, alongside LSZH and PVC, to meet building safety codes.

Q5: Are colors, labels, and packaging customizable?

Absolutely. We can match TIA/EIA standard colors or your brand, apply custom labeling, set breakout lengths, and arrange packaging per rack sequence or project phases.

Q6: What are your lead times for custom orders?

Standard cords ship promptly from stock; custom orders are expedited with fast production cycles and can be delivered in stages as required.
