The JBX42183 2-meter LC/APC to FC/UPC duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents premium-quality connectivity for professional fiber optic networks. Built with precision engineering and rigorous quality standards, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission for mission-critical applications. Technical Excellence: Features 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 glass specification, delivering exceptional optical performance. The cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. At 1310nm wavelength, attenuation measures 0.25dB/km, while 1550nm shows 0.35dB/km, making it suitable for both short-reach and extended-distance applications. All attenuation measurements comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. Durable Construction: The cable features OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacket, meeting building codes for in-wall and riser installations. The 1.8mm outer diameter provides excellent flexibility for routing through cable trays and conduits. Yellow jacket color aids quick identification and reduces installation errors in complex environments. Compliance & Reliability: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for government contracts and regulated enterprise purchases. RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The duplex Type A to B crossover configuration is the industry standard for patch cords, ensuring compatibility with most network equipment. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, enterprise networks, and fiber-to-the-desk deployments. Commonly used for connecting optical network terminals, switches, and transceivers. The 2-meter length accommodates typical equipment spacing while maintaining signal integrity. Customization & Support: Available in custom lengths for specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple US locations for faster delivery. Includes 90-day limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Free standard shipping on orders over $99. Investment in the JBX42183 ensures reliable, standards-compliant fiber connectivity backed by quality manufacturing and customer support.
