The JBX43010 8-meter LC/APC to LC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for demanding network environments. Engineered with precision-aligned LC connectors and premium singlemode fiber, this cable delivers superior optical performance suitable for telecommunications, data center, and enterprise applications. Key Technical Features: This cable features a 9/125 micron singlemode fiber core constructed from G.657.A1 glass, optimized for long-distance signal transmission with minimal dispersion. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) ensures minimal signal degradation, while return loss exceeding 20dB prevents unwanted signal reflection. The 1.8mm outer diameter provides optimal balance between flexibility and durability. Connector Configuration: The LC/APC to LC/UPC configuration addresses mixed-connector scenarios in modern fiber networks. APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on one end provide superior return loss performance (≥20dB), while the UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) end ensures compatibility with standard network infrastructure. This flexibility eliminates the need for additional adapters. Compliance & Installation: TAA compliant manufacturing ensures suitability for government procurement and sensitive installations. The riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacketing meets building code requirements for safe installation within building risers and plenum spaces. RoHS and ELV directive compliance reflects environmental responsibility and global standards adherence. Applications & Benefits: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center interconnects, carrier-grade installations, and enterprise fiber deployments. The yellow jacket provides color-coded identification for network organization and troubleshooting. At 8 meters, this cable bridges medium distances without signal repeaters. Custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements. Quality Assurance: Manufactured to rigorous ANSI/TIA/EIA standards with attenuation testing at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. The 90-day limited warranty guarantees reliable performance. Ships from multiple US locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) enabling fast delivery. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, reducing total installation costs.
