Leviton Telcom UPDLC-S05 Fiber Patch Cord Upc Polish

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM UPDLC-S05 is a fiber optic patch cord featuring a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish on its connector end faces. Fiber patch cords serve as short-length, pre-terminated cable assemblies used to connect active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution units within structured cabling systems. The UPC polish produces a slightly domed end face that minimizes back reflection and insertion loss, making it a reliable choice for single-mode and compatible multimode applications. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary trades that handle this type of component.

This patch cord is suited for use in commercial and residential structured cabling installations, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and fiber-to-the-desk deployments. It is intended for use wherever a short, flexible fiber jumper is needed to complete a fiber optic link segment, connect optical transceivers to patch panels, or interconnect distribution frames. The UPC polish end finish is standard across a wide range of horizontal and backbone fiber cabling infrastructure.

Key Features

• UPC polish end face for low insertion loss and reduced back reflection
• Pre-terminated factory assembly for consistent, reliable connections
• Flexible patch cord construction suited for equipment room and rack-level routing
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber patch cord for use with standard UPC-polished fiber optic adapters and panels in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Always inspect and clean connector end faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing or dressing. Protect unmated connectors with dust caps until ready for use.
