Extralink SC/APC-SC/APC Single Mode Duplex G.652D Fiber Optic Patchcord PVC 3mm 2m

The Extralink SC/APC-SC/APC Single Mode Duplex G.652D Fiber Optic Patchcord is a reliable connection solution designed for modern telecommunications and high-speed data transmission networks. Measuring 2 meters in length with a 3mm PVC jacket, this duplex fiber optic cable utilizes G.652D single mode fiber to ensure stable signal performance across various network infrastructures. Equipped with SC/APC connectors on both ends, it minimizes optical return loss through angled physical contact polishing, making it an essential component for professional installations.

Advantages

This fiber optic patchcord offers low signal attenuation and excellent durability, ensuring dependable performance over extended periods of operation. The high precision of the SC/APC connectors guarantees measurement repeatability and consistent parameter stability, which is crucial for maintaining network integrity. Its robust PVC outer jacket provides adequate protection for indoor routing, while the wide operating temperature range allows for versatile deployment in different environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• FTTH network installations to connect OLT and ONU or ONT devices
• Connecting optical networking equipment such as switches and media converters
• Local Area Networks and Wide Area Networks
• Wavelength Division Multiplexing systems requiring single mode connections

When it may not be suitable

This patchcord is not designed for outdoor aerial or direct burial installations unless properly housed in protective conduits, as the PVC jacket is intended primarily for indoor use. Additionally, it is not compatible with multi-mode network hardware or connectors featuring physical contact PC or UPC polish types without appropriate adapters.

Key specifications

• Fiber optic type: Single-mode G.652D
• Cable type: Duplex FTTH
• Length: 2 meters
• Cable diameter: 3 mm
• Jacket material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Connector type: SC/APC to SC/APC
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Before installation, carefully inspect the connector end-faces for dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from the SC/APC connectors and align the connector key with the port on your network device. Push the connector straight into the adapter until you hear a secure click. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and prevent excessive pulling tension during routing to maintain optimal optical performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the required connector type matches your equipment ports, specifically checking for SC/APC compatibility
• Confirm that the 2-meter length is sufficient for routing between your devices without excessive slack
• Ensure your network architecture utilizes single-mode G.652D fiber systems rather than multi-mode

Usage recommendations

Always maintain proper cable management practices by avoiding sharp bends and crushing forces. Keep the protective caps on the connectors whenever the cable is unplugged to prevent contamination of the optical end-faces.
