Fiber optic patch cable Extralink EX.15005 LC–LC 1 m G.652D FTTH Yellow

Extralink EX.15005 LC–LC 1 m is a 1-metre single-mode fiber optic patch cable designed for indoor and FTTH deployments. The cable uses G.652D single-mode fiber with LC/UPC connectors on both ends and a yellow outer jacket that denotes single-mode standard. With a 3.0 mm cable diameter and single-fibre simplex construction, this patchcord provides a compact connection solution for patch panels, switches, optical network terminals (ONT/ONU) and other termination points in telecom and data centre environments.

Advantages

This LC–LC patch cable delivers low-loss single-mode transmission optimized for typical telecommunication wavelengths starting at 1310 nm. The LC/UPC connectors ensure stable mating and low back reflection suitable for 10 Gbps systems over G.652D fibre. The 3.0 mm jacket provides basic mechanical protection while maintaining flexibility for indoor routing and patch panels. The yellow jacket allows quick visual identification of single-mode lines in structured cabling.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber connections between ONT/ONU and in-home patch panels
• Interconnection of optical equipment such as switches, media converters and transceivers
• Patch panel and rack deployments in data centres and telecom rooms
• Lab and test bench setups requiring short single-mode jumper cables

Key specifications

• Fibre type: G.652D single-mode
• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC (duplex-compatible simplex jumper)
• Length: 1 m
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm
• Wavelength range: from 1310 nm (suitable for typical telecom bands)
• Minimum bending radius: 30 mm
• Jacket colour: yellow (single-mode identification)

How to use

Route the patch cable between the two optical ports to be connected, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. Insert the LC connector into the equipment’s LC receptacle until it clicks; ensure the connector key aligns with the port orientation. For best results, keep protective caps on the connectors until connection, and clean end faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to prevent contamination and insertion loss. Secure excess cable to avoid stress on the connector and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m LC–LC single-mode patchcord for short interconnects inside data cabinets, at ONT/OLT termination points in FTTH installations, or on test benches. Regularly inspect and clean connector end faces, avoid bending below 30 mm radius, and store with connector dust caps when not in use to preserve performance and longevity.
