Optical Cable Corp. P8LCUPC12-3M Lc Upc Sm 12F Pigtail

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. P8LCUPC12-3M is a 12-fiber single-mode fiber optic pigtail assembly terminated with LC UPC connectors on a 3-meter (approximately 118 inches) cable length. Pigtail assemblies are factory-terminated on one end and left unterminated on the other, allowing technicians to fusion splice directly into a fiber distribution or breakout point. This assembly is suited for low-loss, high-density single-mode installations where pre-polished LC UPC connectors are required for clean return-loss performance. Licensed fiber optic technicians and network infrastructure installers are the typical end users.

This pigtail assembly is designed for use in fiber distribution panels, patch enclosures, and splice trays in both commercial and enterprise network environments. The LC UPC single-mode configuration makes it appropriate for long-haul and premises-based single-mode systems operating in standard telecom wavelength windows. It is commonly installed in data centers, telecommunications closets, and building backbone cabling infrastructure where high connector counts and organized cable management are priorities.

Key Features

• 12-fiber count supports high-density termination in a single assembly
• LC UPC connectors provide low insertion loss and low back-reflection for single-mode systems
• 3-meter length offers routing flexibility inside enclosures and distribution frames
• Factory-terminated connectors eliminate field polishing and reduce installation variables
• Single-mode fiber compatible with standard telecom operating wavelengths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation pigtail for single-mode fiber distribution panels, splice enclosures, and patch frames accepting LC UPC connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fiber optic technician familiar with fusion splicing procedures and applicable structured cabling standards such as TIA-568. Each fiber should be routed through a splice tray and protected from tight bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius. Inspect each LC UPC ferrule end-face for contamination before mating, and clean with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool prior to connection. Avoid pulling on individual fibers during routing to prevent strain at the splice point.
