The JBX43042 10-meter LC/APC to LC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents premium connectivity for modern optical networks. Designed to exacting industry specifications, this cable combines reliable performance with practical durability for both enterprise and carrier-class installations. **Technical Excellence** Built with G.657.A1 single mode glass fiber featuring a 9/125 μm core diameter, this cable delivers exceptional transmission characteristics across standard C and L bands. The cable has been attenuation tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001, achieving 1310 nm: 0.25 dB/km and 1550 nm: 0.35 dB/km performance levels. The LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors ensure superior signal quality with return loss ≥20dB, significantly reducing back reflection compared to standard LC/UPC connectors. Insertion loss specifications of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) minimize signal degradation over the 10-meter span. **Build Quality and Compliance** The cable features a robust 1.8mm outside diameter jacketing rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser), making it suitable for installation in vertical runs and plenum-adjacent areas. The bright yellow jacket provides instant visual identification on crowded cable trays and racks. TAA compliance ensures this cable meets Buy American requirements for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility without sacrificing performance. **Practical Advantages** The simplex configuration with straight-through polarity simplifies installation in point-to-point connections. At 10 meters, this length accommodates most data center rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections while maintaining signal integrity. The cable is available in custom lengths for non-standard installations, providing flexibility for diverse network architectures. Fast and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 makes this a cost-effective solution for IT professionals and network integrators. **Applications** Ideal for DWDM systems, metro area networks, fiber-to-the-desktop implementations, and equipment interconnections requiring single channel transmission. Perfect for telecommunications equipment, network switches, and optical transmission systems requiring low-loss, high-reliability connections. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or building new installations, this cable provides the performance backbone modern networks demand.
