Fibre optic patchcord Extralink LC/UPC – LC/UPC, Single-mode duplex, G.657.A1, 3 mm, 1 m

Extralink single-mode duplex fibre optic patchcord with LC/UPC connectors on both ends, 1 m length and 3 mm cable diameter. The cable uses G.657.A1 bend‑insensitive single-mode fibre in an FTTH-style jacket, providing compact LC terminations and reduced bending loss for installations with limited space. Designed for optical networking, equipment interconnections, patch panels and FTTH deployments where reliable, low-loss connections are required.

Advantages

The LC/UPC – LC/UPC duplex design offers a small form-factor termination that saves rack and panel space while ensuring stable optical performance. G.657.A1 bend‑insensitive fibre reduces signal loss at tight radii and improves resilience in confined routing paths. The 3 mm jacket delivers mechanical protection and easy handling during installation, and the 1 m length is suitable for short interconnects between devices or modules.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, media converters and optical transceivers
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames in data cabinets
• FTTH connections between OLT and ONU/ONT equipment
• Short-distance equipment interconnects in telecom and enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode, bend‑insensitive G.657.A1
• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC duplex
• Cable diameter: 3 mm
• Length: 1 m
• Jacket: FTTH-style protective outer sheath

How to use

Inspect connectors for dirt or damage before mating and clean endfaces if necessary using appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Align and insert LC duplex connectors into corresponding LC/UPC ports on devices or patch panels until the latch engages. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radii for G.657.A1 fibre when routing the cable. For removal, depress the LC latch and gently pull the connector straight out to avoid stressing the fibre.

Recommendations

Store and handle the patchcord in a clean environment; protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. Use this 1 m LC/UPC duplex patchcord for short intra-rack or panel connections and prefer G.657.A1 cabling where routing requires tighter bend radii than standard single-mode fibre.
