The JBX42140 SC/APC to SC/UPC duplex single mode fiber patch cable represents a premium connectivity solution for organizations requiring high-performance, certified fiber optic infrastructure. This 45-meter cable combines advanced engineering with strict compliance certifications, making it ideal for government agencies, educational institutions, and large enterprises. Technical Performance Excellence: Built with 9/125 singlemode fiber and G.657.A1 glass construction, this cable delivers exceptional signal clarity across standard telecommunications wavelengths. The SC/APC connector on one end provides superior return loss (≥20dB), while the SC/UPC connector on the other end ensures compatibility with diverse network equipment. Insertion loss measurements of 0.15dB typical and ≤0.35dB maximum exceed industry expectations, supporting longer transmission distances with minimal signal degradation. Compliance & Certification: TAA compliance ensures this cable meets Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements, essential for government contracts and procurement. RoHS/ELV certification demonstrates commitment to environmental safety by restricting hazardous substances. Independent attenuation testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, guaranteeing quality assurance. Installation & Integration: The yellow jacketing provides high visibility during installation and troubleshooting, reducing deployment errors. Type A to B crossover polarity is standard for duplex patch cords, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with most commercial network configurations. Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing permits installation in non-plenum building spaces while maintaining fire safety standards. The 1.8mm outside diameter enables routing through cable trays and conduits without excessive space requirements. Applications: Ideal for connecting network switches, routers, and optical equipment in campus networks, data centers, and telecommunications installations. The 45-meter length bridges medium distances between equipment racks and distribution panels without intermediate splicing. Value Proposition: Quick custom length availability allows tailored solutions for specific site requirements. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 reduces procurement costs. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace-of-mind protection. Ships from multiple U.S. locations for faster delivery. Choose the JBX42140 for certified, tested, government-compliant fiber connectivity that meets the highest industry standards.
