Extralink Patchcord Network Cable SC/APC-SC/UPC Single mode G652D 1m

The Extralink Network Cable Patchcord SC/APC-SC/UPC Single mode G652D 1m is a simplex fiber optic jumper designed for FTTH and point-to-point optical connections. It uses G.652D single-mode fiber to provide low attenuation and stable signal transmission. The cable is 1 meter long with an approximate 3.0 mm outer diameter and is finished in industry-standard yellow. Terminated with SC/APC on one end and SC/UPC on the other, this patchcord enables reliable mating with optical equipment that uses SC interfaces.

Advantages

This patchcord delivers the low loss and dispersion characteristics associated with G.652D single-mode fiber, ensuring consistent performance in access networks. Its SC connectors offer a push-pull coupling mechanism for secure and repeatable connections. The compact 1 m length reduces excess slack in rack or terminal environments, and the 3.0 mm jacket provides manageable flexibility while protecting the fiber.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop and subscriber connections
• Interconnection between OLT, ONU/ONT and optical splitters
• Patching between optical equipment in telecom cabinets and racks
• Test and measurement setups in single-mode networks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Single-mode G.652D
• Configuration: Simplex
• Length: 1 m
• Outer diameter: ~3.0 mm
• Connector types: SC/APC to SC/UPC
• Cable colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the patchcord between the two SC-compatible optical interfaces avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Align the SC connector ferrule with the equipment adapter and insert until the connector clicks, ensuring proper engagement. For the SC/APC end, pay attention to the keyed, angled ferrule orientation to maintain correct mating. After installation, secure any excess length and ensure connectors are kept clean to maintain low insertion loss.

Recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and inspect or clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Maintain bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum and avoid pulling on the fiber; handle the 3.0 mm jacket as the primary strain element.
