Ubiquiti UACC-OFC-SA-MPMP-3M Indoor OS2 Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable
Overview
The UACC-OFC-SA-MPMP-3M is a 3-meter indoor OS2 single-mode fiber patch cable engineered for 100G high-speed backbone and inter-switch connections in data center and enterprise rack environments. Single-mode fiber (OS2) delivers lower attenuation and zero modal dispersion compared to multimode — meaning you can run longer distances without signal degradation, and you avoid the latency variance that multimode introduces. At 3 meters, this cable suits intra-rack fiber runs, switch-to-switch connections within a cabinet row, or short backbone hops where you need deterministic latency and future-proof bandwidth. The MPO-12 Type B APC connector design positions this for modern high-count parallel optics systems common in 100G and emerging 400G deployments.
Compatibility
This cable integrates with Ubiquiti networking equipment and third-party systems that accept OS2 single-mode fiber with MPO-12 Type B APC male-to-male (MP-MP) connectors. Common deployment scenarios include Ubiquiti fiber-enabled switches, long-reach SFP+ and QSFP+ transceiver modules, and modular optical amplification systems. Verify your switch or optical module documentation for connector type and polarity before ordering — Type B APC is industry standard but Type A and UPC variants exist and are not interchangeable.
Installation Notes
Single-mode fiber requires careful handling during installation. Avoid sharp bends below the cable's bend radius (consult the full spec sheet if available); excessive bending introduces microbending loss that degrades signal quality. MPO connectors should be mated cleanly — dust on ferrules causes insertion loss and potential damage. Use lint-free wipes and appropriate cleaning tools before connection. In temperature-controlled indoor data centers (typical 60–80°F operating range), this cable requires no additional environmental protection. Do not expose to direct sunlight or temperature swings above ~40°C, as thermal stress can affect fiber properties over time.
