The JBX42970 0.5m LC/UPC to LC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a dependable solution for enterprise and institutional network infrastructure requiring TAA compliance and superior optical performance. This fiber optic patch cable is purpose-built for single-mode singlemode transmission, making it ideal for long-distance, high-bandwidth network deployments that demand minimal signal loss and maximum data integrity. Technical Excellence: Built with G.657.A1 glass fiber and a precision 9/125 micron core, this cable exceeds industry performance standards. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the ≥20dB return loss provides superior signal reflection suppression. Performance testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality across production batches. Robust Construction: The 1.8mm outside diameter singlemode fiber core is protected by a durable, flame-resistant OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-Rated) yellow jacket, offering excellent cable identification and compliance with building safety codes. The riser rating allows deployment in plenum and riser spaces without conduit in many applications. Compliance & Standards: TAA compliant and fully RoHS/ELV certified, this cable meets federal procurement requirements and environmental regulations. EU Directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures suitability for government, educational, and regulated industry applications. Practical Applications: Perfect for data centers, telecommunications facilities, research institutions, and government networks requiring TAA-compliant components. The LC/UPC connectors provide standard industry compatibility with existing infrastructure. Customization Available: While this listing features the 0.5m length, custom lengths are available to meet specific deployment requirements. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99. Ships from multiple U.S. locations for expedited delivery. 90-day limited warranty included.
