Description
NSN Boot Waterproof CPRI Patch Cord (Compatible with Nokia Flexi) for FTTA Base Stations
ABPTEL NSN Boot CPRI Patch Cord is engineered for outdoor FTTA deployments where the equipment side uses Nokia Siemens (NSN) style interface. The NSN boot is a corrugated waterproof strain-relief housing (rubber / elastomer) that supports reliable routing on towers and rooftops, while helping protect the internal connector from dust and outdoor exposure.
Where this cable is used
- BBU/Radio equipment → RRU patching on the tower
- CPRI / fronthaul fiber link where NSN-style sealed interface is required
- Outdoor routing with frequent bending, limited space, and fast replacement needs
Compatibility
This product focuses on the NSN boot interface commonly requested for Nokia Siemens base station environments. If you are unsure, send us your port photo or equipment model, and we will confirm the matching boot/interface before production.
Connector & Cable Options
| Item | Options |
|---|---|
| Equipment Side | NSN Boot (waterproof corrugated housing) |
| Inside Connector | Duplex LC, or DLC Uniboot (customizable) |
| Fiber Count | 2 Fibers (Duplex) |
| Fiber Type | Single Mode OS2 (G.652D / G.657A1/A2 available) |
| Cable OD | 5.0mm or 7.0mm rugged outdoor jacket (project-dependent) |
| Jacket Material | Outdoor grade (LSZH / PE / TPU options by application) |
| Endface Polish | UPC / APC (based on your optical design) |
| Length | Custom length (typical tower routing lengths supported) |
Key Benefits (what contractors care about)
- Installation efficiency: pre-terminated assemblies reduce tower work and minimize rework risk.
- Outdoor durability: rugged cable jacket + sealed boot supports harsh weather routing.
- Flexible routing: corrugated boot design helps bending and cable management in tight spaces.
- Lower failure rate: factory polishing + inspection reduces contamination and poor mating issues.
- Project consistency: labeling, length control, and test report format can be aligned to your SOP.
Procurement Tip: For FTTA patch cords, performance is not only “low loss” — it’s also connector matching, cable OD fit, bend routing, and repeatable QA. If you provide your environment (tower type, cable OD preference, connector polish, length), we can recommend the most stable configuration.
Quality Control & Test Items
- 100% Insertion Loss / Return Loss testing (per your acceptance criteria)
- End-face inspection (scratch/contamination check prior to packing)
- Polarity & continuity verification for duplex assemblies
- Labeling & length verification (match your drawing/BOM)

FAQ
Is NSN Boot the same as FullAXS / PDLC / ODVA?
No. They are different sealed interface families. NSN Boot is commonly requested for Nokia Siemens style environments. If you are mixing vendors on-site, confirm connector family before purchasing to avoid mismatch.
Can you supply 5.0mm and 7.0mm cable for the same NSN interface?
Yes. We support both, but the correct choice depends on routing distance, mechanical protection needs, and the equipment strain-relief design. Share your site conditions for recommendation.
Can you customize length, labels, and packaging for tower projects?
Yes. We can follow your BOM/drawing, add project labels, and pack by installation sequence to improve field efficiency.
Do you provide test reports?
We can provide IL/RL test records per shipment batch, and align report format to your acceptance procedure.
