What is a Through-wall (Pushable) Patch Cord?
A through-wall (pushable) patch cord is a pre-terminated fiber optic jumper designed for fast and reliable wall penetration in fiber optic networks. Unlike standard patch cords, it allows technicians to push the cable directly through walls, ducts, or conduits without additional splicing, saving both time and installation costs.
It is widely used in FTTH (Fiber to the Home), MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit), and data center cabling projects where quick and efficient connections are critical.
Key Features
🔹 Pre-terminated with SC/APC, SC/UPC, or LC connectors

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can a pushable patch cord replace a traditional patch cord?
👉 Yes. Pushable patch cords offer the same optical performance as traditional ones, but with the added benefit of easier installation in through-wall scenarios.
Q2: How to install a through-wall patch cord?
👉 Simply push the pre-terminated cord through a drilled hole, conduit, or wall. No splicing or additional connectors are required.
Q3: Are custom lengths available?
👉 Yes, we provide standard lengths (5m, 10m, 20m) and can manufacture customized lengths based on project needs.
Q4: What connectors are available?
👉 SC/APC, SC/UPC, and LC/APC are most common, but other types are available on request.
