Patchcord Extralink LC/UPC – SC/APC Single Mode Duplex G.652D PVC 3 mm 2 m

Extralink LC/UPC – SC/APC single‑mode duplex patchcord is a 2 m optical jumper designed for G.652D fibre networks. The cable features a 3.0 mm PVC jacket and factory‑terminated LC/UPC on one end and SC/APC on the other, providing reliable full‑duplex transmission between devices with LC and SC terminations. This patchcord is intended for indoor use in structured cabling, optical patch panels and FTTH installations where low insertion loss and stable single‑mode performance are required.

Advantages

The Extralink duplex patchcord delivers consistent single‑mode optical performance with standardized connector types, ensuring compatibility between LC/UPC and SC/APC ports. Its 3 mm PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and flexibility for installation in cable ducts and racks while maintaining a compact profile. Factory polished connectors reduce return loss and simplify plug‑and‑play connections, making the cable ready for immediate deployment in telecommunication equipment and passive optical networks.

How to use

Ensure both network endpoints are powered off or set to safe connection mode before inserting connectors. Align the LC/UPC duplex connector with the LC receptacle and the SC/APC duplex connector with the SC/APC port; insert gently until a firm click or seating is felt. Avoid excessive bending of the cable near the connectors and respect the minimum bend radius specified for 3 mm single‑mode cable to prevent increased attenuation. After installation, verify optical connection quality with an optical power meter or visual fault locator where appropriate.
