The JBX42976 4m LC/UPC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a reliable solution for professional fiber-optic network installations. Built to exacting standards, this cable combines durability, performance, and compliance to meet the demands of modern IT infrastructure. Key Technical Specifications: This simplex patch cable features a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, ensuring optimal performance for long-distance signal transmission. The cable maintains exceptional low attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, while achieving insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss of ≥20dB. These metrics ensure minimal signal degradation and reliable data transmission. Design and Durability: The 1.8mm outside diameter jacket is rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser), providing fire safety compliance for in-building installations. The vibrant yellow jacketing improves visibility and reduces deployment time in complex cable management scenarios. Constructed with plastic accessories and compliant with RoHS/ELV directives (EU directive 2002/95/EC), this cable meets environmental and safety regulations. Connectivity and Performance: Equipped with LC/UPC connectors on both ends, this straight-through simplex configuration provides plug-and-play connectivity for standard fiber network equipment. The reliable connector interface ensures consistent performance with minimal signal loss. Compliance and Certification: TAA compliant and manufactured to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, the JBX42976 qualifies for federal government contracts and enterprise procurement. Available with custom length options to accommodate specific deployment requirements. Applications: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications equipment rooms, network backbone connections, and high-speed data transmission applications. The simplex configuration suits point-to-point connections where unidirectional signal transmission is required. Warranty and Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, with convenient free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Ships from multiple US locations for rapid delivery.
