The JBX43034 2.5m LC/APC to LC/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a reliable solution for professional fiber optic networking applications. Engineered with precision-manufactured 9/125 singlemode fiber conforming to G.657.A1 standards, this cable delivers consistent performance across multiple wavelengths, achieving attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm. The LC/APC (Local Connector/Angled Physical Contact) connectors on both ends provide superior optical performance with return loss of ≥20dB, minimizing signal reflection and ensuring optimal signal transmission quality. Key Features & Benefits: - TAA-compliant for government and regulated procurement environments - OFNR riser-rated jacket for safe installation in building risers - Low insertion loss (≤0.35dB typical) for minimal signal degradation - Yellow jacket for clear identification and cable management efficiency - G.657.A1 fiber for enhanced bend radius performance - 1.8mm outside diameter for easy routing and space efficiency Technical Specifications: - Fiber Core: 9/125 singlemode - Glass Fiber Standard: G.657.A1 - Polarity: Straight Through - Insertion Loss: ≤0.35dB (0.15dB Typical) - Return Loss: ≥20dB - Attenuation: 1310 nm: 0.25 dB/km; 1550 nm: 0.35 dB/km - Jacketing: Riser Rated (OFNR) - Outside Diameter: 1.8mm - Length: 2.5 meters - Color: Yellow Applications: Ideal for telecommunications facilities, enterprise data centers, ISP backbone networks, campus area networks (CANs), and any application requiring simplex single-mode fiber connectivity. The singlemode architecture provides superior distance capabilities compared to multimode alternatives, making it perfect for long-distance signal transmission in professional environments. Compliance & Warranty: Manufactured in compliance with RoHS/ELV directives and ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, this cable meets stringent quality requirements for regulated industries. Each cable is insertion loss tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards and backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Available in custom lengths to meet specific installation requirements, with fast shipping from multiple U.S. locations and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
