The JBX42977 5-meter LC/UPC singlemode fiber patch cable represents a reliable solution for fiber optic network installations requiring high-performance signal transmission. This simplex cable features matched LC/UPC connectors on both ends, delivering consistent, low-loss connections ideal for single-channel applications. Technical Excellence: Built with 9/125 singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 glass composition, this cable achieves exceptional optical performance. The insertion loss of ≤0.35dB and return loss of ≥20dB exceed standard requirements, ensuring signal integrity across extended runs. Operating at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, the cable accommodates various network protocols and equipment configurations. Compliance & Safety: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable eligible for government and institutional procurement. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The OFNR (Optical Fiber, Non-conductive, Riser Rated) jacketing permits installation in vertical cable runs without conduit, simplifying deployment in multi-story facilities. Practical Design: The yellow 1.8mm diameter jacket provides easy identification in congested cable environments while maintaining flexibility for routing through tight spaces. At 5 meters, the cable bridges equipment gaps in server racks, network closets, and telecommunications rooms without excessive slack. Customization Available: For non-standard requirements, custom lengths are available to optimize your specific installation. Multiple manufacturing sources in Taiwan, US, and China ensure reliable supply chain continuity. Applications: Ideal for LAN implementations, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, data center interconnects, and telecommunications infrastructure upgrades. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product reliability. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 reduces procurement costs while maintaining quality assurance through rigorous ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 attenuation testing standards.
