Extralink SC/APC–SC/APC lapos drop egymódusú simplex patchkábel G.657A2 100 m

The Extralink Patchcord SC/APC-SC/APC Flat drop single mode Simplex G.657A2 100m is a single-mode fiber patch cable designed for FTTH and other optical network installations. The flat drop cable construction and 3 mm diameter make it suitable for routing in confined spaces and for direct indoor connections. Terminated with SC/APC connectors on both ends, this 100 m simplex cable supports low-loss, stable transmission over single-mode links and uses G.657A2 bend-insensitive fiber for improved handling and tighter routing radii.

Advantages

The flat drop design and 3 mm cable diameter provide flexible installation in ducts, conduits and along walls without adding bulk. SC/APC terminations on both ends ensure low return loss and consistent mating with APC-type adapters. G.657A2 bend-insensitive fiber reduces signal attenuation in tight bends and when routed around corners. A 100 m length reduces the need for intermediate joints in many FTTH and indoor cabling scenarios, decreasing potential points of signal loss.

Suitable for

• FTTH subscriber drop connections between OLT, ONU/ONT and indoor terminals
• Connecting optical network equipment such as switches, media converters and optical transceivers
• Indoor cabling runs requiring a flat, flexible single-mode cable
• Installations with limited bend radius or tight routing paths

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode G.657A2 (bend-insensitive)
• Cable form factor: flat drop, 3 mm outer diameter
• Connector types: SC/APC on both ends (simplex)
• Length: 100 m
• Application: indoor FTTH, optical equipment interconnects

How to use

Plan the cable route to avoid excessive tension and sharp bends. Insert the SC/APC connectors into compatible APC adapters or ports with care, ensuring proper alignment and clean connector end-faces for optimal signal performance. Secure the flat drop cable along the chosen path using clips or adhesive mounts appropriate for the surface, keeping the cable within recommended bend radii. Trim or replace the cable if any damage to the jacket or connectors is observed before commissioning.

Recommendations

Before installation, inspect and clean connector end-faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Maintain bend radii consistent with G.657A2 recommendations, avoid pulling forces beyond the cable’s tensile limits, and protect exposed terminations from dust and moisture using dust caps or sealed enclosures.
