LC & SC Short Boot Patch Cords
For Central Office / Telco
LC patch cords supplied with a short boot are ideal for high density applications with
tight space requirements. The connector length from tip to boot assembly is only 40
mm, compared to 66 mm for standard LC – 40% shorter!
These patch cords have the added benefit of being supplied with reduced bend
sensitivity ITU-T G657 singlemode optical fibre which exhibit much lower optical power
loss under bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling.
LC short boot patch cords are designed to meet IEC, EN or Telcordia GR 326
requirements.

Our SC patch cords supplied with a short boot are ideal for high density applications
with tight space requirements. The connector length from tip to boot assembly is only
42 mm, compared to 57 mm for standard SC – 35% shorter!
These patch cords have the added benefit of being supplied with reduced bend
sensitivity ITU-T G657 singlemode optical fibre which exhibit much lower optical power
loss under bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling.
SC short boot patch cords are designed to meet IEC and BS EN requirements.

Features
►► Short length – allows up to 40 mm space between rack and closed cabinet

LC Short Boot Patch Cords
For Data Centres
Description
LC patch cords supplied with a short boot are ideal for high density applications with
tight space requirements. The connector length from tip to boot assembly is only 40mm,
compared to 66mm for standard LC patch cords with heatshrink providing 40% more
space.
These patch cords have the added benefit of being supplied with reduced bend
sensitivity OM3 or OM4 optical fibre which exhibits much lower optical power loss under
bend conditions while remaining compatible with conventional cabling.
LC short boot patch cords are designed to meet IEC, EN or Telcordia GR 326
requirements.

Features
►► Short length – allows up to 40mm space between rack and closed cabinet
door – 25mm extra!
►► Enhanced flexibility of the boot maintains minimum bend radius
►► No heatshrink system – improved cable flexibility
►► Cable dimensions of 2.0mm, 1.8mm, 1.6mm for optimising air flow space

Uniboot Patch Cords


For Data Centres Standards Compliance
TIA/EIA 568C
TIA/EIA 492AAAP
Description IEC11801

As the networking environment of today becomes increasingly dependent on high


speed and high density solutions, effective cable management is a real issue. The
key concern is how to manage more cable in a smaller amount of space. Our uniboot
fibre patch cord reduces cable management space by 50% compared to standard
patch cords. The body of the connector also prevents users from altering the polarity
of the patch cord. The patch cord utilises a special “round duplex” cable that allows
duplex transmission within a single 3mm cable. As a result of these unique features
our uniboot patch cord offers improved airfl w and visibility of equipment within a high
density network environment. Our uniboot patch cord is available in a wide variety of
cable styles including LSZH, Plenum and Riser.

Features & Benefit


►►Full duplex in a single 3mm or 2.4mm diameter cable
►►Available in OM3, OM4, OS1/OS2 (ITU-T G.652D or G.657A1) or ITU-T
G.657A2 cabled fibre types
►►Available with Standard (-UNI) or Low Loss Premium (-UNIDC) optical perfor-
mance
►►Available with LSZH, Plenum and Riser rated cable in 2.4mm or 3mm diameter
►►Cost effective
►►Save up to 68% of space in cabinets and cable ways
►►Protects network polarity

Step by Step

Step 1 - Connector Polarity Uncrossed lines under the connector latch on the housing at both ends indicates uncrossed fibre polarity A-B/B-A

Step 2 - Unlock Front Housing on one End Push the keys on either side to unlock the housing to remove the front section of the Uniboot housing.

Step 3 - Remove Front Housing Slide the front housing away from the rest of the Uniboot.

Step 4 - Rotate Front Housing Flip the released section of the housing. Do not rotate or twist the fibre

Step 5 - Attach Front Housing Push the housing back over the ends and the rest of the Uniboot connector until it clicks back into place.

Step 6 - Connector Polarity Finished result should now show crossed lines under the Flipped connector latch and uncrossed lines on the unaltered end. This would
indicate a crossed fibre polarity A-A/B-B

Mode Conditioning Patch Cords


For Specialist Applications
Description
Our Mode Conditioning Patchcords provide an effective launch platform for 1310
nm Laser switches being used in multimode cabling systems.

Mode conditioned patchcords can allow a much higher operational bandwidth by


precisely aligning a single mode termination at the laser transmitter and providing
an off-centre launch into the multimode fibre core. This is essential for networks
using legacy 62.5/125 and 50/125 multimode optical fibre and may be specified
for current multimode networks depending upon the system requirements.

Features & Benefit


►► Increased transmission bandwidth by as much as 4 times
►► Reduced modal noise
►► Low insertion loss (< 1dB)
►► Easy installation
►► Various connector options
