The JBX43071 9-meter LC/APC to SC/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a reliable solution for professional fiber optic network installations. Designed specifically for single-strand signal transmission, this cable bridges equipment with different fiber connector types while maintaining exceptional optical performance. Key Technical Features: This cable utilizes singlemode 9/125 fiber core technology, ideal for long-distance, high-bandwidth telecommunications. The LC/APC (angled physical contact) to SC/UPC (uncapped) configuration offers versatility across diverse network architectures. Constructed with G.657.A1 grade glass fiber, the cable delivers an attenuation rate of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm, ensuring minimal signal loss across standard telecom wavelengths. Insertion loss specifications (≤0.35dB typical 0.15dB) and return loss (≥20dB) exceed industry requirements for critical applications. Construction and Durability: The outer diameter measures a compact 1.8mm, facilitating efficient cable routing in dense fiber management systems. OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing supports vertical installations while maintaining fire-safety compliance. The yellow color provides essential visual identification for network technicians during installation and maintenance. Compliance and Standards: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant manufacturing ensures eligibility for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV directives confirm environmental responsibility. All cables are attenuation-tested according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent quality. Ideal Applications: Perfect for data centers, telecommunications facilities, enterprise networks, and fiber backbone installations. Suits both new deployments and network expansions requiring medium-distance signal transmission. Customization Available: Beyond the standard 9-meter length, custom cable lengths accommodate specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple US locations with 90-day limited warranty protection. Free standard shipping on qualifying orders enhances value for budget-conscious network professionals.
