The JBX43068 6-meter LC/APC to SC/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise network environments. This precision-engineered cable combines advanced optical performance with practical durability for mission-critical applications. Optical Performance & Specifications: Features a 9/125 singlemode fiber core designed for single-wavelength, long-distance transmission. Achieves exceptional attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm, supporting both traditional and modern wavelength windows. Insertion loss remains ≤0.35dB with typical performance of just 0.15dB, while return loss exceeds 20dB for optimal signal fidelity. All attenuation testing conforms to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring verified performance. Durable Construction: The 1.8mm diameter cable utilizes G.657.A1 bend-insensitive glass fiber technology, reducing installation strain and improving cable lifespan. The OFNR riser-rated yellow polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket provides flame resistance, environmental protection, and superior color-coded identification in complex cable management scenarios. Compliance & Certification: Fully TAA compliant for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV certified in accordance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC, eliminating hazardous substances. Ships from multiple US distribution centers with standard free shipping on orders exceeding $99. Flexible Solutions: While this 6-meter configuration serves standard installation distances, custom lengths are available to accommodate unique deployment requirements. Perfect for connecting optical network equipment, fiber termination panels, and test instrumentation. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, enterprise LANs, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, and data center cross-connects. The straight-through polarity configuration ensures straightforward, plug-and-play deployment without specialized adapters. Warranty & Support: 90-day limited warranty covers manufacturing defects. Professional-grade construction ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.
