The JBX42068 LC/APC to SC/UPC duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium networking solution for professionals and organizations requiring high-performance fiber connectivity. This 6-meter cable combines advanced engineering with industry compliance to deliver uncompromising reliability in demanding applications. KEY SPECIFICATIONS & PERFORMANCE: Constructed with 9/125 singlemode fiber and G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, this duplex patch cable operates at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths with excellent attenuation characteristics (0.25 dB/km at 1310nm, 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm). The low insertion loss profile (≤0.35dB with 0.15dB typical) minimizes signal degradation, while superior return loss (≥20dB) ensures signal integrity across long transmission distances. The 1.8mm outer diameter provides space-efficient routing in congested network environments. TAA COMPLIANCE & STANDARDS: Fully TAA-compliant for government and institutional procurement, this cable meets RoHS/ELV directives and EU directive 2002/95/EC. Attenuation testing follows ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring consistent performance across production batches. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for data center interconnects, telecommunications installations, enterprise networks, and anywhere single-mode fiber connectivity is required. The duplex configuration enables full-duplex communication with Type A to B crossover polarity, the most common configuration for duplex patch cords. QUALITY & SUPPORT: Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing ensures safe installation in vertical cable runs. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, the cable is available in custom lengths upon request. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, with distribution from multiple U.S. facilities (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC). This professional-grade patch cable delivers the performance, reliability, and compliance necessary for mission-critical fiber network deployments.
