The JBX43045 20-meter LC/APC to LC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for demanding network infrastructure applications. Manufactured to exacting standards and rigorously tested, this cable combines performance, compliance, and reliability into a single integrated product. Optical Performance & Specifications: This simplex fiber patch cable features a 9/125 micron singlemode core constructed from G.657.A1 glass fiber, recognized for superior bend-insensitive characteristics. The cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation across standard telecom wavelengths (1310nm and 1550nm). Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm exceed industry expectations for extended-distance transmissions. Compliance & Certification: As a TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant product, this cable meets federal procurement requirements, making it ideal for government and institutional deployments. Full RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence. Testing performed per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards validates performance specifications and ensures compatibility with standard network equipment. Physical Characteristics: The 1.8mm outside diameter provides excellent manageability within cable trays and conduit systems, while the riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacketing provides proven safety ratings for in-building applications. The yellow jacket offers high visibility for easy identification and management in complex network environments. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for data center interconnections, telecommunications networks, enterprise LAN extensions, and laboratory environments requiring reliable fiber optics. The simplex configuration makes this cable perfect for unidirectional signal transmission, particularly in applications where space or budget constraints limit duplex installations. Customization & Support: Custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements, providing flexibility for complex network designs. With 90-day limited warranty coverage and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, this product delivers exceptional value. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery.
