Kenyan network installers should begin with the actual mating interfaces and site fiber records before assigning this product to a link. This OM1 fiber patch cable carries a SC UPC interface on one end and a SC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM1 glass and optically tested as a full product. The duplex zipcord structure keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one product for fast, error-free patching.

Legacy multimode for installed systems
OM1 and OM2 cabling remains in service in industrial controls, building automation and older campus networks. This cable assembly matches that plant: the 62.5/125 or 50/125 core mates correctly with the current infrastructure, avoiding the modal mismatch that mixing core sizes would create.
Matching the installed base
When a legacy channel fails, the appropriate repair is a cord that matches the deployed fiber grade. Because patching OM1 with OM3 introduces a core-size transition that adds unpredictable loss, keeping a small stock of the right legacy jumpers is cheaper than diagnostics a mismatched one.
Length Options
Regular lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), with project-specific length obtainable beyond the list. Specifying the measured pathway length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the optical connectors.
Quality Control and Testing
Every assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The optical cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result obtainable on ask for.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this arrangement by connector pair, fiber mode and length when asking for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, marking or project packaging, send the specification with the request and the factory will check the build before manufacturing. Project support for Kenya and East Africa is available to reconcile the ordered configuration with the intended installation.
