The JBX42304 SC/APC to FC/UPC duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for demanding telecommunications and data center applications. At 2.5 meters in length, this cable provides the perfect solution for intermediate-distance connections between network equipment, optical distribution frames, and telecommunications cabinets. Key Features and Benefits: This duplex configuration includes two fiber strands capable of simultaneous bidirectional communication. The 9/125 singlemode fiber core minimizes dispersion, enabling long-distance, high-bandwidth signal transmission. With insertion loss specifications of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB, the cable maintains signal integrity critical for carrier-class networks. The G.657.A1 glass fiber designation ensures bend-insensitive performance, allowing installation in space-constrained environments. Technical Excellence: Manufactured to stringent ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 attenuation standards, this cable achieves 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm wavelengths. The 1.8mm outside diameter provides flexibility without compromising durability. Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing ensures compliance with building fire codes while the yellow color facilitates easy identification in dense cabling environments. Compliance and Standards: TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified per EU directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets government procurement requirements and environmental regulations. Multiple manufacturing origins (Taiwan, United States, China) ensure reliable supply. Customization and Support: Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. With 90-day limited warranty coverage and convenient shipping from three U.S. distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC), this cable delivers professional reliability backed by responsive customer support. Ideal for telecommunications professionals, network technicians, and data center managers requiring dependable singlemode fiber connectivity.
