The JBX42369 SC/APC to ST/UPC duplex fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for fiber optic network installations requiring exceptional reliability and performance. This 7-meter cable is manufactured to stringent industry standards and delivers consistent, predictable optical characteristics for mission-critical applications. Technical Excellence: Constructed with 9/125 singlemode fiber utilizing G.657.A1 glass specifications, this cable provides superior bend radius performance while maintaining industry-standard attenuation characteristics. The cable achieves minimal insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of 0.15dB), ensuring minimal signal degradation over the transmission path. Return loss specifications of ≥20dB provide excellent signal reflection characteristics critical for duplex communication systems. Connector Configuration: The SC/APC (angle polished) to ST/UPC (ultra polished) connection provides a Type A to B crossover configuration, the most common duplex patch cord polarity. This connector pairing is ideal for bridging between different fiber optic interface standards in heterogeneous network environments, telecommunications equipment, and legacy system integration. Compliance and Safety: TAA compliance certifies this product for U.S. government procurement, while RoHS/ELV certification ensures environmental responsibility and safe material composition. OFNR riser-rating permits installation within building walls and enclosed spaces without conduit requirements, reducing installation costs. Physical Specifications: The yellow jacket provides high visibility during installation and maintenance operations. At 1.8mm outer diameter with duplex construction, the cable maintains a compact profile suitable for dense patch panel environments. Standard 10x10x10 case packaging facilitates bulk ordering for enterprise deployments. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center interconnections, DWDM systems, and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations. The balanced performance characteristics suit both new deployments and legacy system upgrades requiring connector conversion. Warranty and Support: 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind on your network infrastructure investment. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom lengths available for specialized installation requirements.
