The JBX42602 1.5-meter FC/APC to ST/UPC duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional fiber optic network installations. Engineered to exceed industry standards, this cable delivers exceptional performance across critical telecommunications applications. Technical Specifications: This duplex patch cable utilizes 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 specification, offering the optimal balance of performance and compatibility. The cable features an industry-standard 1.8mm outside diameter, making it compatible with standard patch panels and termination boxes. With attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, this cable performs efficiently across both traditional and broadband wavelengths. Connector Architecture: The FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors provide superior return loss characteristics (≥20dB), critical for minimizing back-reflection in sensitive optical systems. The ST/UPC (Straight Physical Contact) connectors ensure broad compatibility with existing network infrastructure. The Type A to B crossover polarity configuration is the standard for duplex patch cord applications, eliminating compatibility concerns. Compliance & Quality Assurance: TAA compliance and RoHS/ELV certification make this cable ideal for government contracts, enterprise procurement, and regulated environments. All cables are attenuation-tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring consistent, verified performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides additional peace of mind for mission-critical installations. Practical Applications: • Data center interconnects and backbone cabling • Telecommunications carrier networks • FTTP (Fiber-to-the-Premise) installations • Network upgrades and expansions • Equipment cross-connections requiring different connector types Customization & Flexibility: While this product comes in a standard 1.5-meter length, custom lengths are available to accommodate specific installation requirements. This flexibility eliminates waste and ensures optimal cable management in any network environment. Shipping & Availability: With fulfillment centers in Danville, CA; Fort Worth, TX; and Beaufort, SC, rapid shipping is available nationwide. Orders over $99 qualify for free standard shipping, and the compact packaging (10x10x10) ensures safe delivery. Whether you're maintaining existing infrastructure or building new networks, the JBX42602 delivers the reliability professionals demand.
