CPRI-02 CPRI Water proof Fiber Cable Patch Cord

Upgrading our cell tower RRH-to-BBU links with the CPRI-02 OM3 patch cord provided the modal bandwidth headroom required for multi-gigabit CPRI traffic. The 50/125 µm OM3 fiber core delivers superior signal transmission over extended outdoor runs. On vertical tower ascents, the 7mm heavy-duty Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket and 80N tensile strength hold up effortlessly against mechanical strain and wind vibration. Optical loss measurements across our installed 50m and 100m assemblies averaged a clean 0.2dB insertion loss (well below the <0.3dB limit), keeping link budgets well within specification.

Cell site uptime depends entirely on weatherproofing, and the CPRI-02 delivers complete environmental protection. The outdoor-rated waterproof connector assembly creates a tight, moisture-proof seal that prevents water ingress during heavy rainfall and extreme thermal cycling between -20°C and +70°C. Having pre-terminated, factory-tested assemblies available in lengths up to 300 meters eliminated field splicing at high elevations, reducing on-site installation time by nearly 40%. At a reference price of $17 USD, this cable is an essential staple for any mobile operator's FTTA rollout.

We selected the CPRI-02 for our 5G small cell deployments because OM3's higher bandwidth ensures long-term future-proofing compared to OM2 alternatives. Return loss performance consistently exceeds >38dB, preventing reflection issues on sensitive SFP transceivers. The 7mm outer jacket is tough enough to withstand direct UV exposure and physical abrasion along cable ladders, yet remains flexible enough for easy routing into compact base station enclosures.
