Patchcord Extralink SC/APC-SC/APC flat drop monomod simplex G.657A2 200 m

Patchcord SC/APC-SC/APC SM G.657A2 SIMPLEX 200M FLAT DROP is a 200-meter single-mode fiber optic cable with a 3 mm diameter jacket and SC/APC connectors on both ends. Designed for FTTH and general optical networking, this Extralink patchcord connects equipment such as switches, converters, OLTs and ONU/ONT devices while complying with G.657A2 bending tolerance requirements.

Advantages

The Extralink SC/APC-SC/APC patchcord provides long-length connectivity in a single, continuous cable, reducing the need for splices in horizontal or drop installations. Its G.657A2 single-mode fiber offers improved bend resistance for easier routing in confined spaces. Terminated with SC/APC connectors, the cable ensures low back reflection and stable optical performance suitable for FTTH links.

Suitable for

• FTTH drop connections between OLT and ONU/ONT devices
• Connecting optical switches, media converters and patch panels
• Residential and small-business fiber installations requiring a 200 m simplex run

How to use

Route the patchcord along the intended path, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert the SC/APC connectors into compatible SC/APC ports on network equipment until they click into place, ensuring correct polarity and cleanliness of connector end-faces. For FTTH drops, secure the flat cable in clips or channels designed for flat drop cables and protect exposed fiber at termination points.

Recommendations

Clean connector end-faces before connection, maintain minimum bend radius recommended for G.657A2 fiber, and secure the cable to prevent tension. Do not exceed manufacturer-specified installation temperatures and avoid tight wraps around small-diameter objects.
