For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. This configured-to-order unit puts six OS2 9/125µm G.657.A1 fibers in a single armored 4.5mm round trunk, breaking out to six individual 3.0mm legs terminated with any mix of LC, SC, FC or ST connectors in UPC or APC polish. One pull replaces three distinct duplex patch cords, and the helical stainless steel armor protects the whole group along routes where distinct jumpers would every need protection.

Product Highlights

• 6 fibers OS2 9/125µm in one armored 4.5mm trunk
• Three duplex circuits or six simplex legs per assembly
• LC, SC, FC or ST connectors in any leg mix, UPC or APC
• Riser (OFCR), LSZH or plenum (OFNP) jacket options
• 0.3m or 0.5m breakout legs in 3.0mm armored sub-units
• 200/400N tensile rating for trunk pulls

Specifications

Six fibers in a single armored round cable

Three duplex links normally mean three distinct patch cords competing for space in the identical tray. The assembly consolidates them into one 4.5mm armored trunk with six fibers, which pulls faster, dresses cleaner and presents only one cable to each pathway pinch point. At the far end this trunk fans out into individual legs that land exactly where three distinct patch cords would have.

Breakout design and leg options

This fan-out is offered with 0.3m or 0.5m legs in 3.0mm armored sub-units, every terminated with LC, SC, FC or ST connectors as the job requires. Legs may be mixed, for example LC toward the switch and SC toward this panel, and every leg is labeled so the three circuits stay identifiable once installed.

Reducing cable count in congested pathways

Tray fill, sleeve capacity and bend space are the limits that actually stop retrofits. Replacing three patch cords with one trunk cuts this cable count by two thirds on that path, and the 200/400N tensile rating lets the single trunk tolerate the pull that three loose patch cords never would. For riser, LSZH or plenum zones the jacket is matched to the building section.

Labeling and circuit management

With six fibers in one trunk, identification is part of the build, not an afterthought. Legs are labeled at the two ends, and the identification scheme may observe the customer document: circuit numbers, room codes or port references. Because for phased rollouts the identical scheme repeats on each batch, a technician picking up the deployment in month six reads the patch cords exactly as the first crew left them.

Trunk construction in detail

Inside the 4.5mm jacket the six tight-buffered fibers are stranded around a central strength member, wrapped in aramid yarn and then in the helical stainless tube, with the outer compound extruded over the armor. That layering is what enables a 200N long-term pull rating in a trunk this thin. The breakout point is potted and strain-relieved so the transition from trunk to legs carries no load into the ferrules.

Length options and customization

Trunk lengths observe the standard stocked range: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft) and 30m (98ft), with other lengths built to order. State the breakout length and leg identification scheme with the inquiry so this fan-out lands correctly at the two ends.

Quality control and testing

Each leg of each assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrules and measured for insertion loss and return loss before packing; the 0.3dB ceiling and polish-suitable return figures are verified per fiber, not per batch sample. This fan-out point is strain-relieved and the whole unit is pull-tested to its rated load.

Ordering and Factory Support

Send the leg connector mix and polish, the jacket rating, trunk length and breakout length. The factory confirms the setup diagram with the quotation; marking needs for the three circuits may be added to the identical diagram. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
