You're dealing with signal degradation in your CATV or telecom backbone—fiber isn't supposed to be the weak link, but poor connectors kill return loss fast, so what you need is something that holds stable across temperture swings and repeated plugging.
We've been running these D4 patch cords for installs where -40°C to +85°C is norm, and they don't drift on you; insertion loss sits at ≤0.3dB max, typically closer to 0.2dB, and return loss hits ≥50dB for PC or ≥60dB for APC—which basically means less reflection messing with your signal.
They're good for at least 1000 mating cycles with ≤0.2dB change, so you're not swapping cables every few months, and tensile strength above 70N means they survive the occasional yank during rack work.
Cable diameter runs from 0.9mm to 3.0mm (customizable), and you can pick jacket material—PVC, LSZH, or OFNR—depending on your plenum or riser requirement; connector color options are blue, beige, or green, and boot type varies (Uniboot, slotted, or smooth).
We comply with Telcordia GR-326-CORE, RoHS, CE, and ISO9001, and orders typically ship with a COA—custom lengths are no issue, though lead time may vary (usually 2-4 weeks for non-standerd builds).
That said, these aren't ideal for multimode runs or short patch panels where cheap LC cords would do—teh D4 UPC connector is overkill for basic office LANs and better suited to backbone or outdoor CATV links where every dB matters.
Our MOQ for this D4 series cable is 100 pieces per spec. If you need a smaller quantity for testing, we can sometimes work something out — just reach out.
Standard lead time is 10-15 business days for custom jacket and color combos. Rush orders might be possible depending on current production load.
Yes, we include test reports per batch showing insertion loss ≤0.3dB and return loss ≥50dB for PC or ≥60dB for APC. We can also provide individual test data if your QA requires it.
Absolutely, we can customize the boot type per end. Just specify your requirement, and we’ll handle the assembly to match your patch panel or transceiver setup.
We recommend storing them in a cool dry place between -20°C and +60°C. The operating range is wider, but keeping them moderate prolongs jacket life and connector performance.
