Fiber Optic Cable DELOCK 12x LC-UPC Simplex to 12x open cable end, 1m

DELOCK Fiber Optic Cable 12x LC-UPC Simplex to 12x open cable end, 1 m is a multi-fiber pigtail assembly designed for single-mode installations that require field termination or splicing. One end houses twelve LC-UPC simplex connectors for reliable patching into LC ports, while the opposite end provides twelve loose single fibers for fusion splicing or custom termination. The 1 m length offers a compact, manageable jumper for rack, patch panel and distribution frame use in data centers and telecom closets.

Advantages

This cable combines standardized LC-UPC connectivity with loose fiber ends to allow flexible integration into existing single-mode networks. The pre-terminated LC-UPC side simplifies connection to patch panels and transceivers, reducing installation time, while the open fiber ends permit precise splicing and termination to suit site-specific requirements. The bundle format of twelve fibers supports multi-fiber runs and consolidates cabling for denser installations.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber patching in data center racks and distribution panels
• Field fusion splicing or mechanical splicing to active equipment or backbone fibers
• Custom termination workflows where LC-UPC ports are used on one end and direct fiber splices on the other
• Telecom installations requiring multi-fiber pigtails for high-density cabling

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended for single-mode applications; it is not suitable for multi-mode networks where different core and connector specifications are required. If a fully factory-terminated multi-fiber connector system (for example MPO/MTP) is needed, a pigtail with loose ends and individual LC-UPC connectors may not be the appropriate choice.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Connector type (pre-terminated end): 12× LC-UPC simplex
• Other end: 12 loose single-mode fiber ends (pigtail style)
• Fiber type: single-mode (UPC polish)
• Color: Blue
• Configuration: 12-fiber bundle

How to use

Route the cable from the patch panel or equipment to the splice tray or termination area. Insert the LC-UPC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or adapters, ensuring proper alignment and secure seating. Prepare the loose fiber ends for fusion or mechanical splicing by stripping, cleaving and cleaning according to splicing equipment instructions. After splicing, protect the splice points with heat-shrink sleeves or splice protectors and organize fibers in a splice tray to prevent bending and strain.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the installation requires single-mode LC-UPC connectors and loose fiber pigtails rather than multi-mode or factory-terminated multi-fiber connectors.
• Verify the required cable length and routing space; 1 m is intended for short connections within racks or enclosures.
• Ensure available splice equipment and trained personnel for field termination or splicing of loose fiber ends.
• Check fiber color coding and labeling practices in your infrastructure for correct identification and management.

Usage recommendations

Handle fibers with care to avoid microbends and contamination. Use appropriate dust caps on LC-UPC connectors when not connected, follow proper stripping and cleaving procedures for reliable splicing, and maintain minimum bend radii during routing. Label each fiber or connector according to your site scheme to simplify future maintenance.
