For UAE project teams, the key is to match this exact configuration to the port schedule, optical budget and delivery documentation. The custom simplex FTTA program builds the single-fiber outdoor base station jumper to the precise setup of the connection: LC or SC connectors in any mix, the measured path length, and an armored branch length matched to the exposed section at every end. It serves the bidirectional and single-fiber optics increasingly used on radio units, where one strand carries the two directions of traffic. The platform is the proven FTTA outdoor build: one OS2 9/125µm single-mode fiber of Corning G.657.A1 glass in a 7.0mm LSZH jacket with helical steel armored protection over the tails.

A custom cord for single-fiber radio links

Bidirectional optics place transmit and receive on one strand, so this jumper between the baseband hardware and the radio needs exactly one fiber. Ordering that jumper as a customized simplex cord matches the hardware precisely: this connector at every end follows the actual port, the length follows the measured path, and nothing is left over. Compared with adapting a duplex cord, the customized simplex build removes the parked leg, halves this connector count on the record, and keeps the tower deployment as light as it may be.

Connector freedom at both ends

Radio units, enclosures and frames present LC and SC interfaces depending on vendor and generation. The customized program terminates any mix of LC and SC on the identical outdoor platform, polished and tested in the factory. A site that evolves from SC-based enclosures to LC-based radios is served by one cord with LC on one end and SC on the other, with no adaptors in this optical path and no extra mated pair in the optical loss budget.

Outdoor mechanics unchanged

The custom cord keeps the full outdoor rating of the standard FTTA series: 200/400N long and short-term tensile strength for pulling and vertical hanging, 1100/2200N crush resistance, helical steel armored branches over the exposed tails, and an operating range from -20 to 70 degrees Celsius. The G.657.A1 fiber holds attenuation stable at the 10D static bends that appear inside congested enclosures and radio shrouds.

Repeatability across the rollout

For operators deploying the identical radio setup across numerous sites, the custom cord is specified once and repeated exactly: connector mix, length, armored branch and identification. Because one recorded setup covers the whole fleet, each site receives the identical unit, commissioning follows the identical steps, and the spares holding stays minimal.

Length options and customization

State the measured path length with the inquiry, including the tray route and working slack at the two ends; the factory builds to that figure and confirms the manufacturable specification prior to production.

Quality control and testing

Every custom simplex cord is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested as an entire unit: insertion loss is verified against the 0.3dB ceiling and return loss against the 50dB minimum. End-face geometry is inspected on each connector so the delivered cord may be plugged into service without on-site rework.

Ordering and Factory Support

Send the necessary connector mix, path length and armored branch preference with the inquiry. The factory confirms the manufacturable specification prior to production and keeps the setup on record for repeat orders across the rollout. Our UAE project support can review the requirement with Shenzhen production before a formal quotation is issued.
