The JBX42630 SC/APC to LC/UPC duplex singlemode fiber patch cable is engineered for professionals who demand superior optical performance and reliability. This 0.5-meter interconnect solution seamlessly bridges SC/APC and LC/UPC connector types, making it essential for mixed-connector network environments. Technical Excellence: This cable utilizes 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 specifications, delivering exceptional optical characteristics. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the return loss of ≥20dB maintains signal integrity across your network infrastructure. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm comply with industry standards. Construction & Durability: Feature a robust 1.8mm outer diameter jacket rated OFNR (Riser), suitable for in-wall installation and building pathways. The yellow jacket provides high visibility during installation and troubleshooting. RoHS/ELV compliant construction ensures environmental responsibility without compromising performance. TAA Compliance & Availability: As a TAA-compliant component, this cable meets federal procurement requirements for government agencies and institutions. Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 0.5m offering, it ships rapidly from US distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications, ISP networks, data centers, research institutions, and enterprise connectivity solutions where singlemode fiber is required. The SC/APC to LC/UPC configuration accommodates network upgrades and hybrid installations common in modernizing existing infrastructure. Quality Assurance: Every cable is attenuation-tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A 2001 standards, backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 makes bulk installations economical for businesses and contractors.
