Configure a fiber patch cord, pigtail, armored patch cord or MPO/MTP cable assembly, generate an RFQ-ready specification, and add multiple configured items into a BOM export list.
Choose the cable specification. The tool will generate a readable product description and a coded ZION part number.
The generated result can be copied or added into the RFQ/BOM list below.
After selecting a specification above, click “Add Current Configuration” to add it into this RFQ/BOM table. Add multiple configurations and export them as CSV or Excel-compatible file.

| Parameter | Recommended Logic | Why It Matters | RFQ Reminder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multimode Endface | OM1 / OM2 / OM3 / OM4 / OM5 normally use UPC for LC/SC/FC/ST; MPO multimode normally uses PC. | APC is usually not used for multimode links and may cause compatibility confusion. | Confirm transceiver type and adapter interface before ordering. |
| MPO Parameters | Must define gender, polarity, fiber count and loss grade. | MPO polarity or gender mistakes can cause link failure even if the connector type is correct. | Specify Type A, Type B or Type C; male or female; 8F/12F/24F. |
| Pigtail Structure | 0.9mm simplex is common for pigtail use. | Duplex or multi-fiber structure is usually not suitable for standard splice tray pigtail installation. | For ODF and splice tray, confirm length, color code and open-end stripping requirement. |
| Jacket Diameter | 2.0mm / 3.0mm for standard patch cord; 3.0mm+ for MPO or armored cable. | Cable diameter affects routing space, bend radius, pulling force and cabinet management. | For 12F/24F MPO, confirm OD and fan-out structure if required. |
| Testing | IL/RL test report, end-face inspection and optional 3D interferometer report. | Test data improves procurement traceability and reduces installation disputes. | Ask whether test results are required per connector or per cable assembly. |
Use these answers to check common RFQ details before ordering LC, SC, FC, ST, MPO/MTP patch cords, pigtails and armored fiber patch cords.
A complete RFQ should include connector type, endface type, fiber count, fiber type, jacket material, cable diameter, length, color, boot type, test report requirement, application scenario and quantity. For MPO/MTP assemblies, gender, polarity and loss grade should also be clearly specified.
A fiber patch cord normally has connectors on both ends and is used for patching between panels, equipment or distribution frames. A fiber pigtail usually has one connector and one open fiber end for fusion splicing inside an ODF, splice tray, FTTH terminal box or closure.
APC is commonly used for single mode links where higher return loss performance is required, such as FTTH, PON, CATV, long-distance transmission and some high-speed single mode applications. UPC is widely used for standard data center and telecom patching where APC is not required by the equipment interface.
Multimode patch cords normally use UPC or PC-style endfaces, depending on connector type. APC is generally associated with single mode fiber. For OM3, OM4 and OM5 links, confirm the transceiver interface and adapter type before requesting any non-standard endface.
MPO/MTP cable assemblies should be confirmed by fiber count, connector gender, polarity method, loss grade, fiber type, endface, cable structure and test report. Polarity or gender mistakes can cause link failure even when the cable length and connector type are correct.
G.652.D is widely used for standard single mode backbone and patching. G.657.A2 is bend-insensitive and is better for FTTH, cabinets, high-density routing, tight trays and installations where small bend radius may occur. For indoor drops and compact routing, G.657.A2 is usually the safer choice.
0.9mm is common for pigtails inside splice trays and termination boxes. 2.0mm is common for standard indoor patch cords. 3.0mm is often selected when higher mechanical strength, easier handling or armored construction is required. MPO/MTP or multi-fiber assemblies may require larger or customized cable structures.
For most professional projects, an insertion loss and return loss test report is recommended. For data center, telecom, PON, MPO/MTP or high-reliability projects, end-face inspection images or 3D interferometer reports may also be requested to improve traceability and reduce installation risk.
If your project involves mixed connectors, MPO polarity, FTTH pigtails, armored patch cords, CPR / OFNR / OFNP requirements, or a multi-item BOM, send your configuration to ZION for an engineering review before ordering.
