Optical Cable Corp. RTS4U-12APB Fiber Patch Cable Assembly

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. RTS4U-12APB is a fiber optic cable assembly designed for structured cabling and data network installations. This unit features a sliding-style connector configuration and ships in a black jacket finish. It belongs to the OCC RTS4U series, which is engineered for reliable optical signal transmission in demanding environments. Licensed low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and data center installers typically handle installation and termination of this assembly. The cable ships as a single unit (EA) and is intended for direct installation without additional field fabrication.

The RTS4U-12APB is suited for use in commercial and industrial fiber optic infrastructure projects. The sliding connector style supports applications where secure, low-insertion-loss connections are required at patch panels, switches, or distribution frames. It is appropriate for use in structured cabling environments that call for pre-terminated fiber assemblies, reducing on-site termination labor and improving consistency across runs.

Key Features

• Pre-terminated fiber optic cable assembly — no field termination required
• Sliding connector style for secure, repeatable mating at patch points
• Black jacket finish for straightforward cable identification and routing
• Single-unit packaging — ready for direct deployment
• Part of the OCC RTS4U series, engineered for structured cabling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pre-terminated patch cable assembly for use in fiber optic structured cabling systems requiring a sliding-connector configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic handling procedures. De-energize or power down active equipment at patch panels or switch ports before making or breaking fiber connections. Avoid sharp bend radii below the cable minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the fiber. Follow applicable ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards for routing, labeling, and termination practices.
