Fiber optic patchcord Extralink SC/APC–SC/APC Singlemode G.652D 3.0 mm 10 m FTTH

Extralink SC/APC–SC/APC Singlemode G.652D 3.0 mm 10 m FTTH fiber optic patchcord is a simplex singlemode jumper with SC/APC connectors on both ends, 10 metres in length and a 3.0 mm outer diameter. Constructed with G.652D singlemode fibre, this patchcord is intended for low-loss optical connections in FTTH deployments and telecom environments. It provides a straightforward link between optical devices such as switches, media converters, patch panels, OLTs and ONU/ONT units where APC-angled SC terminations are required.

Advantages

The simplex design with SC/APC terminations ensures stable mechanical mating and low return loss typical of angled physical contact connectors. Using G.652D fibre delivers predictable singlemode transmission characteristics over standard access-network distances. The 3.0 mm jacket provides handling durability for installation and routing in cabinets, conduits or drop runs. Factory-terminated connectors reduce field termination work and provide consistent optical performance for patching and interconnect tasks.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber connections between OLT and ONU/ONT devices
• Interconnects in optical distribution frames and patch panels
• Linking switches, media converters and optical transceivers
• Telecom and ISP singlemode access links requiring low back-reflection

Key specifications

• Fibre type: singlemode G.652D
• Connector A: SC/APC (angled physical contact)
• Connector B: SC/APC (angled physical contact)
• Construction: simplex (single fiber)
• Cable outer diameter: 3.0 mm
• Length: 10 m
• Typical use: patchcord for FTTH and optical interconnects

How to use

Route the patchcord without sharp bends, maintaining a bend radius recommended for singlemode cables to avoid excess attenuation. Insert each SC/APC connector into the corresponding SC/APC adapter or equipment port until it seats securely; the keyed ferrule and angled endface ensure correct alignment and low return loss. Avoid touching the connector ferrule and, if necessary, clean endfaces with appropriate optical cleaning tools before mating. When routing in cabinets or trays, secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors and maintain bend radius around fixtures.

Recommendations

Use this patchcord in environments where low return loss is important; choose SC/APC terminations to minimize reflections for singlemode systems. Store and handle connectors with protective caps when not in use, and follow standard fibre handling and safety procedures including eye protection and proper disposal of fibre scraps.
