The 2m LC/APC to LC/APC Simplex 9/125 Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a premium solution for single-direction fiber optic signal transmission in professional networking environments. This meticulously engineered patch cable combines precision connector technology with superior optical performance, making it an excellent choice for telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise network deployments. Key Performance Specifications: This cable features a robust 9/125 micron singlemode fiber core manufactured to G.657.A1 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern fiber networks while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy systems. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors deliver exceptional return loss performance of ≥20dB, while insertion loss remains exceptionally low at ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), minimizing signal degradation across both 1310nm and 1550nm transmission windows. Construction and Safety: The 1.8mm outer diameter jacketing provides durability and flexibility, while OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) rating ensures compliance with building safety codes for vertical installation in commercial facilities. The yellow jacket facilitates quick visual identification in complex cable management scenarios, reducing troubleshooting time and installation errors. Compliance and Quality Assurance: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, this cable meets federal procurement requirements. Full RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility. Attenuation testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent performance metrics. Application Scenarios: Ideal for DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) systems, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and telecommunications equipment interconnections where single-strand simplex connectivity is required. The straight-through polarity configuration ensures seamless integration with standard fiber infrastructure. Customization and Support: While this 2m length addresses common networking requirements, custom lengths are available upon request to meet specific installation needs. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, and South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. All units include a 90-day limited warranty providing peace of mind and reliable technical support.
