Optický patch kábel Extralink LC/UPC – SC/APC, jednovidový G.652D, simplex, 3 mm plášť, 2 m

Extralink singlemode fiber optic patchcord with LC/UPC connector on one end and SC/APC on the other provides a simplex interconnection using ITU-T G.652D fibre. The cable has a 3 mm outer jacket and a total length of 2 m. It is designed for FTTH and telecom links where a conversion between LC/UPC and SC/APC interfaces is required, enabling connection between optical transceivers, patch panels and active equipment with different connector types.

Advantages

The patchcord combines an LC/UPC connector for low-insertion-loss mating with transceivers and an SC/APC connector for backplane or panel terminations that require angled-polish performance. The use of G.652D singlemode fibre ensures low attenuation and compatibility with standard singlemode networks. The 3 mm jacket provides mechanical protection and ease of handling in rack and closet environments, while the 2 m length offers flexibility for typical patching distances without excess slack.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber terminations and residential optical connections
• Telecom and carrier singlemode links in central offices and POPs
• Interconnecting optical transceivers, media converters and patch panels
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring LC-to-SC APC interface conversion

Key specifications

• Fibre type: singlemode ITU-T G.652D
• Connector A: LC with UPC polish
• Connector B: SC with APC polish (angled)
• Cable configuration: simplex
• Outer jacket diameter: 3 mm
• Standard length: 2 m
• Typical application wavelength range: singlemode telecom wavelengths (e.g. 1310 nm, 1550 nm)

How to use

Inspect connectors and fiber ends for cleanliness before insertion. Align the LC/UPC connector with the corresponding LC/UPC receptacle and push until it clicks; insert the SC/APC connector into the SC/APC adapter or panel port, ensuring the keyed orientation and angled-polish seating. Avoid excessive bending of the 3 mm cable; maintain bend radius in line with manufacturer recommendations for singlemode fibre. When disconnecting, pull connectors by the boot or body rather than the fibre to prevent damage.

Recommendations

Store and transport the patchcord in a protective bag or on a spool to prevent kinks. Clean both LC/UPC and SC/APC endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Use this patchcord in environments that maintain stable temperature and avoid mechanical strain to preserve low insertion loss and return loss performance.
