Description
Stainless Steel Armored Fiber Patch Cord (OS2 / OM3 / OM4), LC UPC Duplex, LSZH
Factory-terminated LC UPC duplex armored patch cord with stainless steel spiral armor and LSZH outer jacket, available in three fiber grades: OS2 singlemode (Yellow), OM3 multimode (Aqua), and OM4 multimode (Violet). Designed for harsh-environment and high-traffic data center and industrial deployments. The optical fibers are protected by an inner LSZH jacket, a stainless steel 304 spiral wrap (rodent-proof and crush-resistant), and an outer LSZH jacket. Available in 1 m / 2 m / 3 m / 5 m / 10 m / 15 m / 20 m / 30 m and custom lengths. 100% factory tested for insertion loss and endface geometry.
Available modes: OS2 singlemode (1310 / 1550 nm, long-reach), OM3 (10G/40G up to 100 m @ 850 nm), OM4 (10G/40G/100G up to 150 m @ 850 nm). Choose the mode that matches your transceiver and reach requirements.
Key Features
- Three fiber grades on one product page: OS2 singlemode (Yellow), OM3 multimode (Aqua), OM4 multimode (Violet) — order the same armored patch cord at the mode your link needs.
- Stainless steel 304 spiral armor: rodent-proof, crush-resistant up to 4000 N/100 mm, ideal for outdoor-indoor transition, industrial floors, and high-traffic cable trays.
- Triple-layer construction: inner LSZH buffer, stainless steel spiral armor, outer LSZH jacket — no separate conduit required.
- Bend-insensitive optical fiber: 7.5 mm minimum bend radius for tight routing inside racks despite armor stiffness.
- Low insertion loss: ≤ 0.20 dB typical per IEC 61753-1 Grade B.
- High return loss: OS2: ≥ 50 dB (UPC); OM3/OM4: ≥ 30 dB (UPC MM).
- LSZH jacket: flame-retardant, low-smoke zero-halogen compliant with IEC 60332-3. Color-coded by mode.
- LC UPC duplex clip: integrated duplex clip for standard LC duplex adapters.
- 100% factory tested: insertion loss and endface geometry per IEC 61300-3-35; test report shipped with each assembly.
Applications
- Data center raised floor and overhead tray deployments where rodent or mechanical crush protection is required
- Industrial Ethernet and SCADA fiber links in factory automation
- Outdoor-to-indoor transition patch (between outdoor armored cable and indoor equipment)
- Marine, mining, oil & gas field fiber patch links
- Military and tactical deployable fiber networks
- High-traffic public venue (stadium, airport, mall) backbone patch
- OS2 long-reach singlemode links between buildings or to telecom equipment rooms
- OM3 / OM4 10G/40G/100G multimode links in industrial or rugged-environment deployments

How to Choose the Right Mode
- Pick OS2 (Yellow) if your link is long-reach singlemode (1 km to 40 km+), connecting buildings, or matching existing OS2 plant.
- Pick OM3 (Aqua) if your link is 10G/40G up to 100 m @ 850 nm, or if you are matching legacy OM3 plant.
- Pick OM4 (Violet) if your link is 40G/100G up to 150 m @ 850 nm, or if you want extra modal-bandwidth headroom.
Compliant with IEC 61753-1, IEC 61300-3-35, TIA-568.3-E and ISO/IEC 11801-1. Each assembly ships with serial number, test report, mode-specific jacket color, and length-specific labeling. Custom connector combinations (SC/FC/ST/LC UPC or APC) available on request.
