LC Uniboot Fiber Patch Cords
High-density two-fiber cord with reversible polarity and push-pull release.
G.657.A1 / OM1–OM5 · 2.0 / 3.0 mm and 3.0 mm armored · LSZH, OFNR / OFNP on request · fixed or reversible polarity · IL ≤0.30
A Uniboot cord carries both fibers in one shared jacket instead of two separate zipcord legs, so it takes less space and routes more cleanly in dense patch fields. Polarity can be reversed in the field without a replacement cord, and an optional push-pull tab lets you seat and remove the connector where fingers cannot reach. For ordinary-density, economical duplex patching use XHT-D05.

Configuration Options
Step 1 · Polarity
• Fixed polarity — where the link polarity is settled and will not change.
• Reversible polarity — flip the fibers in the connector to change polarity on site, with no replacement cord or special tooling.
Step 2 · Push-pull tab
• No tab for normal-density fields; add the tab where ports are packed so tightly that the connector cannot be gripped — push to seat, pull to release.
• The four builds: fixed / no tab (economical standard); reversible / no tab; fixed / tab; reversible + tab (the high-density flagship).
Step 3 · Fiber
• G.657.A1 (yellow) single-mode for longer reaches; OM3 / OM4 (aqua) for short high-speed links; OM1 / OM2 for legacy plants; OM5 (lime) for wide-band links.
Step 4 · Cable & armor
• 2.0 mm for the tightest routing, 3.0 mm for sturdier handling, 3.0 mm armored where under-floor pressure or crushing is a risk.
Step 5 · Jacket, length & labels
• LSZH standard, OFNR / OFNP on request; lengths built to your requirement; low-loss ≤0.20 dB and custom labels / packaging on request.
Typical Applications
• Dense switch, SAN and patch-panel fields where space and cable management are tight.
• Links where polarity may need to be corrected without replacing the cord.
• Deep or crowded panels accessed with the push-pull tab.
• High-density zones of enterprise server rooms and edge computing cabinets.
• Boundary: for ordinary-density, more economical duplex patching use XHT-D05; for parallel-port MPO links use XHT-D01 / XHT-D02.

Quality You Can Verify
• Factory-terminated under controlled epoxy, cure and polish process — consistent end-face finish.
• End faces inspected for cleanliness and defects per IEC 61300-3-35, then cleaned and sealed with dust caps.
• Fibers paired, and the polarity / push-pull mechanism checked against the build ordered.
• Standard, non-OEM connectors interoperate with standard LC adapters and panels.
FAQ
Q1. Uniboot (D06) or standard duplex (D05)? D06 combines both fibers in one shared jacket for the densest, cleanest routing and adds reversible polarity / push-pull options. Where density is ordinary, D05 is the more economical cord.
Q2. Do I need reversible polarity? It lets installers correct the polarity by flipping the fibers in the connector rather than ordering a different cord — useful on active, changing patch fields; fixed polarity suits stable, documented links.
Q3. Do I need the push-pull tab? Only where connectors are too crowded to grip directly. The tab extends reach so the cord can be seated and removed without disturbing adjacent ports.
Q4. Which multimode grade? OM3 covers most short 10G links; OM4 adds margin for 40 / 100G; OM5 is specified for wide-band (SWDM) links; OM1 / OM2 suit legacy equipment.
