Fibre optic cable Extralink EX.9281, FTTH G.652D, SC‑SC, 3 m, duplex, yellow

Extralink EX.9281 is a 3 m FTTH fibre optic patch cable designed for single-mode G.652D networks. The cable is terminated with SC connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration and features a yellow outer jacket for quick visual identification. It supports full duplex transmission and is intended for optical network terminations, premises cabling and linking optical equipment in FTTH installations.

Advantages

The cable provides low-loss single-mode transmission compliant with G.652D fibre parameters and a duplex SC‑to‑SC termination that simplifies connection between devices. Its 3 m length and flexible 3 mm diameter sheath enable convenient routing in racks, panels and customer premises while the yellow jacket ensures clear identification in multi-cable environments. Standard connector types ensure compatibility with a wide range of optical transceivers, OLTs, ONTs and patch panels.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber connections between OLT/ONU or ONT devices
• Optical patch panels and rack-mounted fibre terminations
• Connecting optical transceivers, media converters and switches
• Premises cabling in residential and commercial installations

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode G.652D
• Length: 3 m
• Configuration: duplex (two fibres)
• Connectors: SC to SC (duplex)
• Cable jacket colour: yellow
• Cable diameter: 3 mm
• Transmission: full duplex optical link

How to use

Route the patch cable between the corresponding SC ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring correct duplex orientation so transmit and receive channels match. Insert the SC connectors until they click into the port and avoid sharp bends or strain on the cable; maintain the specified bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. If replacing or reterminating, clean connector end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before making connections to ensure low insertion loss.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, store and install the cable in a clean environment, protect connectors with dust caps when not in use, and use compatible SC ports and adapters. Regular inspection and cleaning of connector end faces will help maintain optimal optical signal quality.
