Cabo de patch Extralink SC/APC - SC/UPC monomodo G.652D, simplex, 3 mm de bainha, 3 m

Extralink singlemode patchcord with SC/APC to SC/UPC connectors is a simplex fibre optic cable designed for reliable low-loss connections in singlemode G.652D networks. The cable features a 3 mm outer jacket and a 3 m length, providing a compact and flexible link for telecom equipment, network patching panels and FTTH terminations. The SC/APC and SC/UPC terminations offer stable mechanical coupling and optical performance suited for indoor cabling and equipment interconnection.

Advantages

This patchcord provides low insertion loss and consistent return loss performance expected from SC/APC to SC/UPC terminations when used with singlemode G.652D fibre. The 3 mm jacket balances flexibility with mechanical protection, making handling and routing in cabinets and patch panels straightforward. Simplex construction reduces bulk where a single optical channel is sufficient, and the standardized SC form-factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of optical devices and adapters.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the patchcord by inserting each SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or device port, ensuring the keyed orientation for SC/APC and SC/UPC connectors aligns with the adapter. Handle the fibre carefully to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius for 3 mm jacketed singlemode cable. Secure excess cable to avoid strain on connectors and avoid twisting the cable during installation.

Recommendations

Before connecting, clean connector endfaces with an appropriate fibre optic cleaning tool to prevent contamination and increased insertion loss. Store the patchcord coiled without tight loops and avoid exposure to liquids or corrosive chemicals. For testing or critical links, verify insertion loss and return loss with suitable optical test equipment after installation.
