Extralink LC/UPC - LC/APC Patchcord Multimode OM2 Duplex 3 mm 2 m

Extralink LC/UPC - LC/APC multimode OM2 duplex patchcord, 2 m length, with a 3 mm jacket diameter. This fibre optic cable features LC connectors in a duplex configuration designed for short-range multimode networks and FTTH installations. One connector end terminates in LC/UPC and the opposite end in LC/APC to accommodate equipment with differing connector polish types while maintaining full-duplex data transmission.

Advantages

The patchcord combines OM2 multimode fibre with a 3 mm outer jacket for reliable handling and routing in indoor installations. The duplex LC termination supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels, and the mixed LC/UPC and LC/APC terminations allow compatibility between devices that require different connector polishes. Low insertion loss and industry-standard LC form factor ensure stable short-reach performance in LAN, server room, and FTTH environments.

Suitable for

• Indoor multimode network connections in data centers and server rooms
• FTTH subscriber connections between OLT and ONU/ONT devices
• Patch panels, optical switches, and media converters requiring LC duplex terminations
• Short-distance duplex links in enterprise and campus networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2
• Connector configuration: Duplex LC on both ends (one LC/UPC, one LC/APC)
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Cable jacket diameter: 3.0 mm
• Support for full-duplex optical transmission
• Typical application range: short-range multimode links

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before connection. Align the LC connectors with the corresponding LC ports on network equipment and push until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the duplex clip or maintain proper polarity so transmit and receive channels correspond correctly between devices. Route the 3 mm jacketed cable without sharp bends and avoid tight loops to preserve optical performance. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to prevent stress on the connector.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools and dust caps when not in use. Use this OM2 multimode patchcord for short-distance indoor links; for longer runs or single-mode requirements select an appropriate single-mode cable with matching connector polish types.
