The JBX42971 1-meter LC/UPC to LC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for organizations requiring reliable, high-performance fiber optic connectivity. This cable is specifically designed for single-direction signal transmission applications where simplex configuration is preferred. **Technical Excellence** Built with 9/125 micron singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 specification glass, this cable delivers superior optical performance. The LC/UPC connectors feature polished ultra-physical contact surfaces, ensuring minimal insertion loss at ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and excellent return loss of ≥20dB. Laboratory testing confirms attenuation of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, meeting or exceeding industry standards per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001. **Professional Design Features** The distinctive yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated) jacket provides multiple advantages: enhanced visibility in cable trays and equipment racks, compliance with building codes, and protection against electromagnetic interference. The compact 1.8mm outer diameter facilitates easy routing through cable management systems without compromising durability. The 1-meter length offers flexibility for equipment spacing while minimizing signal degradation. **Compliance & Reliability** TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified, this cable meets stringent government and environmental standards. Manufacturing options include sources from Taiwan, the United States, and China, ensuring availability and supply chain flexibility. The cable ships from three strategic U.S. locations (California, Texas, and South Carolina), supporting rapid deployment. **Ideal Applications** Perfect for data center interconnects, telecommunications infrastructure, campus network backbones, and laboratory testing environments. The simplex configuration suits point-to-point connections where unidirectional transmission suffices, reducing cost while maintaining performance. **Warranty & Support** Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and available in custom lengths for specialized installations. Orders over $99 qualify for free standard shipping, with qualified bulk orders eligible for custom configurations. The cable's superior optical performance and robust construction ensure years of reliable service in mission-critical applications.
