Patchcord Extralink SC/APC para LC/PC monomodo duplex 9/125 µm 2 mm, 1,5 m

Extralink SC/APC to LC/PC single mode duplex patchcord, 9/125 µm, 2 mm jacket, 1.5 m length, is designed for FTTH and telecom environments where reliable full-duplex optical connections are required. The cable uses G.652D single mode fibre and combines an SC/APC connector on one end with an LC/PC connector on the other, enabling compatibility between equipment and patch panels that use these connector types. The 2 mm jacket provides a balance between flexibility and durability for in-rack or short interconnect runs.

Advantages

The patchcord ensures low insertion loss and return loss performance consistent with SC/APC and LC/PC interface characteristics, supporting stable single mode transmission. Its duplex design allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single cable assembly, reducing cable clutter. The compact LC connector minimizes port space on active equipment while the SC/APC provides angled-polish contact for improved return loss in systems sensitive to back-reflection.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber connections and drop cabling
• Interconnection between fibre patch panels and optical transceivers
• Telecom sockets and customer premises equipment requiring SC/APC to LC/PC conversion
• Laboratory testing and short-range optical link routing inside racks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single mode G.652D (9/125 µm)
• Cable jacket diameter: 2 mm
• Configuration: duplex (two fibres)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector A: SC/APC (angled polish)
• Connector B: LC/PC (physical contact)

How to use

Align and insert the SC/APC connector into the corresponding SC/APC adapter or port until it clicks, ensuring the angled-polish orientation is maintained. Insert the LC/PC connector into the LC port by aligning the keyed latch and pressing until it seats. Use the duplex cable orientation to match transmit and receive channels on both ends. Avoid sharp bends; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for single mode fibre when routing the cable to prevent increased attenuation or damage.

Recommendations

Maintain clean connector endfaces by using appropriate cleaning tools before connection, and store the patchcord with gentle loops to protect the 2 mm jacket. For best optical performance, inspect connectors periodically and replace the patchcord if physical damage or persistent loss issues are detected.
