Fibre optic cable Extralink EX.3586 1 m FTTH G.652D SC-SC duplex yellow

Extralink EX.3586 is a 1 m FTTH fibre optic patchcord with G.652D single-mode fibre in a full duplex SC–SC configuration. The cable features SC/UPC connectors on both ends and a 3.0 mm PVC-jacketed cable designed for indoor and FTTH installations. It provides low insertion loss and stable single-mode transmission for connecting switches, media converters, optical terminals, patch panels and other short-distance fibre links where reliable duplex connectivity is required.

Advantages

The Extralink EX.3586 patchcord offers compact, standardized SC/UPC duplex terminations that simplify installation and ensure consistent optical performance. Its G.652D single-mode fibre minimises attenuation over short links and supports common FTTH and LAN optical equipment. The 3.0 mm PVC jacket balances flexibility and mechanical protection for everyday indoor routing and patching tasks.

Suitable for

• FTTH connections between OLT and ONU/ONT devices
• Patch panel and cabinet patching in telecom and data centre racks
• Connecting optical network equipment such as switches, converters and media transceivers
• Short-distance single-mode links within premises and telecom rooms

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode G.652D
• Connector type: SC/UPC to SC/UPC duplex
• Configuration: full duplex
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm
• Jacket material: PVC
• Application environment: indoor, FTTH and premises cabling

How to use

Route the patchcord between the two optical ports to be connected, avoiding tight bends and securing the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC receptacle until it clicks, observing correct duplex orientation if using equipment that requires TX/RX alignment. For best optical performance, keep connector end-faces clean and use a fibre inspection tool or lint-free wipes and approved cleaning solution before mating.

Recommendations

Store unused patchcords coiled loosely to prevent microbending, avoid pulling on the connectors themselves during installation, and maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with the cable construction. Regularly inspect and clean connector end-faces when troubleshooting signal loss or after repeated reconnections to maintain low insertion loss.
