The JBX42336 6-meter SC/APC to FC/APC duplex single mode fiber patch cable represents premium connectivity for mission-critical network infrastructure. Engineered with precision-polished APC (angled physical contact) connectors on both ends, this cable minimizes signal reflection and maximizes transmission quality across your fiber optic network. Technical Excellence: This duplex patch cable features a 9/125 micrometer single mode core constructed from G.657.A1 glass fiber, optimized for long-distance, high-bandwidth telecommunications. The cable achieves exceptional performance metrics: insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at 1550nm (0.25dB/km at 1310nm), and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. These specifications are tested and verified in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality. Build Quality and Compliance: The 1.8mm diameter OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser-rated) jacketing provides durability and safety in various installation environments. TAA compliant and certified under RoHS/ELV Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets rigorous government and enterprise procurement requirements. Its yellow color facilitates easy identification in complex network environments. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications facilities, data centers, campus networks, and any installation requiring reliable single mode fiber connectivity. The SC/APC to FC/APC configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity is standard for most duplex patch cord applications. Custom Solutions Available: While this 6-meter configuration suits standard installations, custom lengths are available to meet specific deployment requirements. Available from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Warranty and Support: Protected by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, ensuring your investment is secure. Each cable is manufactured to the highest standards with consistent quality control.
