LC/UPC-LC/UPC | 12 Fibers Fanout | Single Mode G657.A2

This LC/UPC to LC/UPC Fanout Assembly features 12 bend-insensitive singlemode fibers (G657.A2), each individually tubed in 1.8mm subunits and enclosed in a 3.0mm outer jacket. The cable is optimized for high-density, high-performance applications where tight routing and reduced signal loss are critical.

Each end is terminated with LC/UPC connectors, equipped with a 1.25mm ceramic ferrule. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing provides a flat, highly polished surface, ensuring excellent insertion and return loss. The design also supports APC (Angled Physical Contact) variants with an 8° angle polish for even lower back reflection.

Built for modern fiber infrastructure, this fanout is ideal for rack interconnects, patch panel terminations, and structured cabling in enterprise or hyperscale environments.
