Fiber optic patchcord Extralink SC/UPC – SC/UPC, single-mode G.657.A2, simplex, flat drop, 15 m

Extralink SC/UPC – SC/UPC single-mode fiber optic patchcord, 15 m, simplex, uses G.657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber and a flat drop cable design. The cord features SC/UPC connectors on both ends for direct connection to compatible equipment, patch panels, and FTTH terminations. Its 15 m length covers typical last-meter links and indoor routing where a flexible, low-bend fiber is required.

Advantages

The G.657.A2 fiber core reduces signal loss at tight bend radii and improves reliability in confined installations. The flat drop cable profile simplifies routing under skirting boards, inside conduits, and along walls, while the simplex configuration provides a single dedicated channel for downstream or upstream signal paths. SC/UPC connectors offer stable mechanical alignment and low insertion loss for single-mode networking.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This patchcord is designed for single-mode networks and simplex use; it is not suitable where multimode fiber or duplex links are required. It also may not be appropriate for outdoor, direct-burial, or armored applications because the flat drop jacket and construction are intended primarily for indoor routing and protected environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the flat drop cable along the intended path avoiding sharp edges and fixed pinch points. Insert the SC/UPC connector into the corresponding adapter or equipment port until it clicks into place, ensuring correct end-face alignment. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight back. When installing under flooring or within cable management channels, avoid bending the cable beyond recommended bend radii to maintain signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For reliable performance, store and handle the patchcord by the connector bodies, maintain bend radii above manufacturer recommendations, and use dust caps on unused connectors to prevent contamination. Use this flat drop patchcord for neat indoor routing and FTTH last-meter links where bend-insensitive single-mode fiber is required.
