Patchcord Extralink SC/UPC to LC/UPC, Singlemode G.652D, Duplex PVC, 3mm, 1 m

Extralink Patchcord SC/UPC to LC/UPC, Singlemode G.652D, Duplex PVC, 3mm, 1 m is a 1-metre singlemode duplex fibre optic cable with an SC/UPC connector on one end and an LC/UPC connector on the other. The cable uses G.652D singlemode fibre in an FTTH-style construction with a 3 mm PVC jacket and yellow outer sheath. It is intended for reliable optical links in premises, patch panels and FTTH installations where a compact LC termination and a robust SC termination are required.

Advantages

The Extralink SC/UPC–LC/UPC patchcord provides low insertion loss and stable singlemode transmission characteristics thanks to G.652D fibre. Duplex termination enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels in one cable assembly, while the combination of SC and LC connectors offers compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and patch panels. The 3 mm PVC jacket delivers basic mechanical protection and easy handling for indoor installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before use and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Insert the SC connector into the corresponding SC receptacle until it clicks, and insert the LC connector into the LC port, ensuring correct alignment of transmit and receive channels for duplex operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for singlemode 3 mm cables. Confirm optical link performance with a visual fault locator or power meter after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid kinking or excessive tension on the patchcord, protect connectors with dust caps when not connected, and store coiled loosely. Use inline adapters or patch panels that match SC and LC UPC terminations to preserve low return loss and insertion loss characteristics.
