The JBX42997 80-meter LC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents the gold standard for telecommunications infrastructure. Designed specifically for high-speed, long-distance fiber optic signal transmission, this cable combines precision engineering with regulatory compliance. **Technical Excellence**: The 9/125 micron singlemode core minimizes modal dispersion, enabling superior performance over extended distances. Insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, critical for maintaining network integrity. Return loss exceeding 20dB provides excellent signal reflection control, essential for preventing interference in sensitive applications. **Specification Compliance**: Tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, this cable meets industry benchmarks for attenuation (1310nm: 0.25dB/km or 1550nm: 0.35dB/km). TAA compliance makes this cable eligible for government contracts and procurement programs. RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. **Durability & Safety**: The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated) yellow jacket provides robust fire protection suitable for building riser installations. The 1.8mm outside diameter balances durability with flexibility for cable management. G.657.A1 glass fiber specification ensures bend-insensitive performance without compromising signal quality. **Installation & Configuration**: Pre-terminated LC/UPC connectors eliminate field termination requirements, reducing installation time and potential errors. The straightthrough polarity configuration simplifies deployment in standard telecommunications setups. **Flexibility & Support**: Available in custom lengths to accommodate unique installation requirements. Shipped from strategically located U.S. warehouses in California, Texas, and South Carolina for rapid delivery. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 reduces total cost of ownership. **Applications**: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications networks, enterprise backbone installations, and any application requiring reliable 80-meter fiber connectivity. The simplex configuration suits point-to-point transmissions in unidirectional signal scenarios. **Warranty & Service**: 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product reliability and performance assurance.
