The JBX43059 90-meter LC/APC to LC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable is a premium networking solution designed for organizations requiring reliable, high-speed fiber optic connectivity. This cable combines professional-grade construction with cost-effective delivery, making it ideal for network upgrades, data center installations, and telecommunications infrastructure projects. Key Technical Features: The cable utilizes a 9/125 singlemode fiber core with G.657.A1 glass composition, engineered to minimize signal loss while maintaining bend-radius performance superior to standard G.652.D fibers. With measured attenuation of just 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm, this cable supports extended transmission distances without signal degradation. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB typical (0.15dB) and return loss of ≥20dB ensures optimal signal integrity across wavelengths commonly used in DWDM and long-haul applications. Design and Construction: The LC/APC (Angle Physical Contact) connectors provide superior end-face geometry with angled polished surfaces, reducing back-reflection and returning loss—critical for single-mode applications. The simplex (single-fiber) configuration allows for dedicated transmission paths, making it ideal for asymmetrical networks or as part of duplex communication systems. The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket provides flame-resistant protection suitable for vertical plenum installations while maintaining a compact 1.8mm outside diameter. Compliance and Standards: This cable meets rigorous regulatory requirements including TAA compliance for government and institutional procurement, RoHS/ELV directives, and EU directive 2002/95/EC. Performance testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. Applications: Ideal for long-distance fiber runs, backbone connectivity, equipment interconnects, and applications requiring single-direction transmission with minimal signal degradation. Perfect for telecommunications carriers, data centers, broadcasting facilities, and enterprise networks. Customization and Support: Available in custom lengths to meet specific installation requirements. Includes 90-day limited warranty. Ships from multiple US locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Manufactured to exacting standards by leading suppliers in Taiwan, US, and China.
