The JBX43083 60-meter LC/APC to SC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional optical network installations. This cable bridges the connectivity gap between systems using different connector types while maintaining superior optical performance and compliance with rigorous industry standards. Technical Specifications: This simplex fiber cable features a 9/125 micron core characteristic of singlemode fiber, supporting long-distance transmission with minimal signal degradation. The G.657.A1 fiber specification provides enhanced bend performance, making installation more practical without compromising optical properties. With attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, this cable excels in modern wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) applications. Connector Configuration: The LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) to SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) configuration offers flexibility for hybrid network environments. APC connectors on one end provide superior return loss performance (typically -60dB or better), while UPC connectors on the other end accommodate standard installations. The straight-through polarity design ensures straightforward implementation without special considerations. Compliance & Safety: Fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, this cable meets government procurement requirements. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating ensures safe installation within building risers and walls. Manufactured to EU RoHS/ELV directives, it contains no hazardous substances. Construction in Taiwan, US, or China ensures quality consistency across manufacturing sources. Practical Advantages: The distinctive yellow jacket aids in rapid cable identification within crowded cable trays and server racks, reducing installation and troubleshooting time. The compact 1.8mm outside diameter facilitates dense cable routing in congested spaces. Custom length availability accommodates specific installation requirements beyond the standard 60-meter offering. Applications: Ideal for connecting optical test equipment, network switches, and transceivers in data centers, telecommunications hubs, campus networks, and research facilities. Suitable for both temporary testing configurations and permanent infrastructure installations. Quality Assurance: Each cable undergoes insertion loss testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, guaranteeing consistent performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides protection against manufacturing defects. Standard case packaging accommodates bulk orders efficiently.
