Patchcord Extralink SC/APC to LC/UPC Single Mode G.652D 3mm Simplex 2m

Extralink single-mode patchcord with SC/APC connector on one end and LC/UPC on the other provides a compact, low-loss fibre connection for optical networks. The cable is simplex, 2 m long and uses G.652D single-mode fibre within a 3 mm outer jacket suitable for indoor FTTH and equipment interconnects. This patchcord is intended for point-to-point connections between switches, media converters, optical line terminals and customer premises equipment where SC to LC interconnection and single-mode performance are required.

Advantages

The SC/APC to LC/UPC configuration combines a robust SC/APC connector with a space-saving LC/UPC interface to accommodate different port types while maintaining low insertion loss and stable single-mode transmission. The 3 mm jacket gives mechanical protection and ease of handling for patch panels and short horizontal runs. Simplex construction keeps routing simple in installations where a single optical path is needed.

Suitable for

• FTTH terminations and subscriber connections
• Interconnection between OLT and ONU/ONT devices
• Patch panel and splice enclosure links
• Connecting optical switches, media converters and transceivers

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode G.652D
• Connector A: SC/APC (angled physical contact, green boot)
• Connector B: LC/UPC (ultra-physical contact, blue boot)
• Construction: simplex (single fibre)
• Cable diameter: 3 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Typical application: indoor/FTTH and equipment interconnects

How to use

Inspect connectors for dust or damage before insertion and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Insert the SC/APC connector into the matching SC/APC receptacle with the keyed face aligned, and insert the LC/UPC connector into the LC duplex or simplex port until it latches. Avoid sharp bends; maintain a bend radius consistent with the 3 mm cable construction to prevent increased loss. When routing through panels or trays, secure the cable gently to avoid tension on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable, low-loss performance in FTTH and equipment interconnects, use this patchcord for short indoor runs and patch panel connections. Regularly clean connector endfaces, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling, and store unused cables coiled with a gentle radius to preserve fibre integrity.
