The JBX42975 3-meter LC/UPC to LC/UPC singlemode fiber patch cable represents premium connectivity for demanding network environments. This simplex configuration transmits data over a single fiber strand, making it ideal for applications where unidirectional signal transmission is required. Technical Excellence: Built with 9/125 micron singlemode fiber (ITU-T G.652D compatible with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive performance), this cable delivers exceptional signal integrity across standard telecom wavelengths. Independent testing confirms insertion loss of just 0.15dB typical (≤0.35dB maximum) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation and reflection. Construction & Durability: The 1.8mm outer diameter jacket features OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating, meeting building code requirements for vertical installations without conduit. The yellow color-coding provides instant visual identification in complex cable management scenarios, reducing installation time and troubleshooting errors. Compliance & Certification: TAA compliant for federal government procurement, RoHS/ELV certified per EU directive 2002/95/EC, and tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. The 90-day limited warranty protects your investment. Applications: Ideal for server-to-switch connections, backbone runs, patch panel installations, and DWDM systems. The 3-meter length accommodates typical rack-to-rack distances while maintaining performance standards. Custom Solutions Available: Beyond the standard 3-meter configuration, custom lengths are available to match your exact installation requirements.
