## Summary description

Singlemode fibre optic patchcord Extralink with SC/APC connector on one end and SC/UPC on the other. Simplex construction, G.657.A1 (FTTH) fibre, 3 mm jacket and 0.5 m length. Designed for optical signal transmission, patching in telecom and FTTH networks, connecting equipment and optical distribution frames where singlemode performance is required.

## Long description

Patchcord Extralink SC/APC – SC/UPC, Singlemode Simplex G.657.A1, 3 mm, 0.5 m is a singlemode fibre optic patchcord designed for short interconnections in telecom and FTTH environments. The simplex construction features a G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibre optimized for fibre-to-the-home installations. One end is terminated with an SC/APC connector and the other with an SC/UPC connector, enabling reliable mating between devices or panels using differently keyed SC terminations. The 3 mm jacket provides mechanical protection and handling stiffness while the 0.5 m length is intended for patching within racks, optical distribution frames, or for direct equipment-to-equipment links where minimal slack is needed.
Advantages
The patchcord uses G.657.A1 bend-insensitive singlemode fibre, which reduces signal loss in tight routing and curved pathways typical of FTTH deployments. Having SC/APC on one end and SC/UPC on the other allows compatibility between APC-terminated and UPC-terminated equipment without adapting connectors. The 3 mm outer jacket balances flexibility and durability for repeated plugging and short-distance routing. Factory-terminated connectors ensure consistent optical performance and lower insertion loss compared with field-terminated links.
Suitable for
Patching inside optical distribution frames and telecom racks
Connecting OLT to ONU/ONT in FTTH installations
Interfacing equipment with mixed SC/APC and SC/UPC terminations
Short-distance links between switches, media converters, and transceivers
Key specifications
Fibre type: Singlemode G.657.A1 (bend-insensitive)
Construction: Simplex (single fibre)
Connectors: SC/APC (one end) and SC/UPC (other end)
Cable diameter: 3 mm jacket
Length: 0.5 m
How to use
Route the patchcord between devices or between a device and a patch panel, avoiding sharp bends and securing excess length to prevent strain. Align and insert the SC connectors into the corresponding SC/APC and SC/UPC ports until they click into place, ensuring the correct orientation for the APC angled ferrule and the UPC flat ferrule. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or port. Inspect endfaces and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if optical performance is critical before connecting.
Usage recommendations
Use this 0.5 m SC/APC–SC/UPC singlemode patchcord for short, high-quality connections in FTTH and telecom racks; avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius and keep endfaces clean to maintain low insertion loss and stable signal transmission.
