The JBX43015 is a professional-grade optical fiber patch cable engineered for mission-critical telecommunications and data center environments. This 20-meter simplex cable connects LC/APC (angled physical contact) connectors to LC/UPC (ultra-physical contact) connectors, providing flexibility in mixed-generation network deployments. Key Technical Specifications: This cable utilizes G.657.A1 grade singlemode fiber with a 9/125 micrometer core, delivering exceptional performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. Attenuation measurements of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure minimal signal loss over the 20-meter span, while insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB exceed industry standards for reliable data transmission. Construction and Compliance: The cable features a robust 1.8mm outside diameter jacket rated OFNR (optical fiber non-conductive riser), making it suitable for indoor installations in plenum and riser spaces. Its bright yellow color aids in visual identification during installation and maintenance. Manufactured in compliance with EU RoHS directives and TAA regulations, this cable meets stringent environmental and trade compliance requirements. Applications and Benefits: Ideal for telecommunications carriers, internet service providers, data centers, and enterprise networks, this simplex configuration supports unidirectional signal transmission at full bandwidth. The LC connector format provides compact density in high-port-count patch panels, while the simplex design reduces cable bulk compared to duplex alternatives. Available in custom lengths and backed by a 90-day limited warranty, the JBX43015 offers flexibility for various installation scenarios. Ships from multiple US locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring quick deployment for time-sensitive projects. Maintenance Tip: Always cap unused fiber connectors to prevent dust contamination, which can degrade signal quality. Use appropriate fiber cleaning kits when connecting or disconnecting cables.
