Zuntz optikoko adabaki kablea & Pigtail Manufacturer — SC/LC/FC/MPO, Barruan, Kanpoan & Armored

FIBCONETek zuntz optikoa fabrikatzen du adabaki kableak eta pigtails across five product families — simplex & duplex indoor, waterproof drop, blindatua, MPO high-density, and ODF pigtails — with combined output exceeding 13 million cords per month. Every cord is 100% txertatze-galera probatu da, itzulera galera, tensile strength and end-face quality before packaging.

Our patch cords meet the corresponding test requirements defined in IEC 61300 (U klasea) eta Telcordia GR-326-CORE (R klasea). Optical fiber comes from China’s four leading brands — YOFC, Zpt, Hengtong eta Fiberhome. Ceramic ferrules use the CCTC series (Sumitomo ferrules available on request), and connector grades run from network-level to telecom-level to match your project’s cost and performance profile.

Beyond standard telecom cords, gurea MPO / MTP high-density line supports 40G, 100G, 400G and 800G parallel optical transmission — the current mainstream for AI-driven data-centre buildouts and hyperscale MDA cabling. See the MPO section below.

How to Choose the Right Connector, Jacket and Fiber

Konektore motak & End-Face Contact

We manufacture patch cords with all mainstream connectors: FC, ST, SC, LC, MU, MPO / MTP, E2000, MTRJ, SMA. End-face contact is available in three types:

• PCa (Kontaktu fisikoa) — return loss around 40 dB, legacy applications
• UPC (Kontaktu Ultra Fisikoa) — itzulera-galera ≥ 50 dB, mainstream data-centre and enterprise
• APC (Kontaktu fisiko angeluduna, 8°) — itzulera-galera ≥ 55 dB, MON / FTTH / CATV where high RL is critical

For module ports, LC, SC and MPO / MTP dominate. LC is the default for high-density optical modules; SC is standard for FTTH; MPO handles high-count parallel links.

• MPO–MPO breakout — single-ended maximum 6 MPO konektoreak. Both ends must be symmetric (adib. 2×12 to 2×12). Common splits for 24-core: 2×12, 3×8, 4×6.
• Hybrid combinations — one end MPO + one end LC / SC / FC

Polaritatea & Generoa

• Idatzi a (zuzenean) — key-up to key-down; standard for parallel optics
• B mota (reversed) — key-up to key-up; used with fanout modules
• C mota (pairs-crossed) — each fiber pair swapped; legacy duplex applications
• Generoa: Gizonezkoa (with alignment pins, fixed / panel side) or Female (pinik ez, ekipamendua / patch side)

When you place an order, please confirm polarity type, gender configuration, connector-color scheme, and core-count breakout — our sales team will validate against your target optical modules before production begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patch Cord & Pigtail Sourcing

Q1. What is your minimum order quantity for standard patch cords?

Standard simplex and duplex patch cords have no MOQ — sample and trial orders are welcome. MPO cords typically start at 100 unitateak. Armored cords have a 1,000-piece MOQ due to armor tooling setup; delivery within 10 egunak. OEM-printed packaging requires 5,000 pieces minimum.

Q2. What is the lead time?

Regular configurations of simplex, duplex and standard MPO ship from stock within days — we keep 2,000–3,000 pieces of common SKUs like SC/UPC duplex 2.0 mm LSZH in-stock. MPO custom orders: 7–12 days for a few thousand pieces; 15–20 days for orders above 20,000 piezak. Branch patch cords: samples ready in 3 egunak.

Q3. Can you provide test reports and 3D end-face inspection?

Bai. Every cord ships with 100% factory testing (THE, RL, end-face, tensile). Txosten elektronikoak barne FLUKE edo EXFO formatua are available after order placement. 3D end-face inspection is standard on all MPO production and available on request for other cord types.

Q4. What insertion-loss levels can you achieve on MPO?

Standard-grade MPO: insertion loss ≤ 0.7 dB (modu anitzekoa 850 / 1310 nm). Low-loss grade: ≤ 0.35 dB batez bestekoa. Single-mode MPO with high-precision imported ferrules can reach IL as low as 0.15 dB for testing and telecom-grade applications. Standard grade covers enterprise networks and office cabling; low-loss grade is designed for high-density cabinet cabling and 100G+ mainstream links.

Q5. Can you customize MPO breakout ratios and lengths?

Bai. Standard MPO breakout defaults: 12-core → 6 duplex LC; 24-core → 12 duplex LC. Custom splits including 2×12, 3×8, 4×6 and other ratios are fully supported. MPO–MPO breakout allows up to 6 MPO connectors on a single end, with both ends symmetric. Trunk length range: 0.2 m to 300 m; branch length differences within a single cable should stay within 30 cm to avoid fiber-stress attenuation drift.

6.G. What speeds do your MPO cords support?

Our MPO cords stably support 40G, 100G, 400G eta 800G parallel optical transmission. This makes them suitable for current AI data-centre cluster fabric, hyperscale MDA cabling, and next-generation coherent transport buildouts. OM4 / OM5 multimode is the current mainstream for 400G / 800G SR8 links; single-mode covers longer reach and DR4 architectures.

7.G. Do you offer UL / ETL / TUV certifications for North American and European markets?

Bai. Our patch cords meet the applicable UL, ETL and TUV test standards. Formal third-party certification can be arranged per project on request — test cost is quoted separately depending on the scope required.

8.G. Which fiber and ferrule brands do you use?

Optical fiber from YOFC, Zpt, Hengtong eta Fiberhome. Ceramic ferrules are Sanhuan by default; Sumitomo ferrules available on request. Connector grades range from network-level (mainstream cost-performance) to telecom-level (highest concentricity, lowest IL) — specify per project.

9.G. What about armored patch cords — how strong are they and where can I use them?

Our armored patch cords use a 201 stainless-steel spiral armor layer. Tensile strength reaches 140 N (versus 70 N for standard cords) and the armor passes a 24-hour salt-spray test, making them suitable for marine shipping and coastal deployments. Best for static routing with occasional bending — not recommended for high-frequency repeated flexing. For buried installations, an additional protective conduit is recommended to prevent long-term corrosion.

Q10. Do you provide OEM and private-label service?

Bai. Zure artelanak ekoizten ditugu: koloretako kutxa pertsonalizatuak, kanpoko kartoiaren logotipoa, etiketa pribatuko PE poltsak, fitxa teknikoen txertaketak eta markako eskuliburuak. Neutral packaging is available with no minimum quantity. Printed packaging with custom logo requires 5,000 pieces minimum to justify plate setup.
