The JBX43061 LC/APC to SC/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a dependable solution for professional fiber optic network installations. Manufactured to exacting standards with options from multiple US facilities (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC), this 1-meter cable meets the demanding requirements of telecommunications, data center, and enterprise network applications. **Technical Specifications & Performance:** This cable features a 9/125 singlemode fiber core with G.657.A1 glass construction, delivering superior optical performance. Testing confirms insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Attenuation performance meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, with verified rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm wavelengths. **Construction & Durability:** The cable features a 1.8mm outside diameter with riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing suitable for building installations. The yellow jacket improves visibility during deployment and troubleshooting. RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental safety, while TAA compliance makes this cable eligible for government and institutional procurement. **Connector Configuration:** The LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) to SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) configuration optimizes for different network equipment interfaces. The simplex design handles single-direction transmission, making it perfect for specific directional requirements in fiber optic networks. **Applications & Use Cases:** Ideal for connecting network switches, optical transport equipment, test instruments, and telecommunications infrastructure. Common applications include data center interconnects, FTTH installations, backbone network segments, and laboratory testing environments. **Availability & Support:** Ships from multiple US locations ensuring faster delivery. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99. Custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for business-critical deployments. **Care & Maintenance:** Handle connectors with care to maintain optical performance. Protective caps should remain in place when disconnected. Regular inspection of connectors and jacketing ensures continued reliable operation in network environments.
