The JBX43097 LC/APC to SC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents the ideal solution for professional fiber optic network installations requiring exceptional reliability and performance. This meticulously engineered 5-meter cable combines advanced fiber technology with robust construction to meet the demanding requirements of modern telecommunications and data networking environments. Constructed with singlemode 9/125 fiber core and premium G.657.A1 glass specifications, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance. With measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss of ≥20dB, it ensures minimal signal degradation across critical network connections. The attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm provide outstanding performance for both short and long-distance fiber transmissions. The cable features precision-engineered LC/APC and SC/APC connectors on each end, providing secure, low-loss connections for equipment compatibility. The distinctive yellow jacket not only aids in network organization and identification but also serves as protection with riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing rated for indoor use in vertical runs. The 1.8mm outside diameter provides flexibility during installation without compromising durability. Compliance and Standards: This cable meets stringent industry requirements including TAA compliance for government procurement, RoHS/ELV directives, and ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 attenuation testing standards. Available in custom lengths for specific installation requirements. Ideal Applications: Enterprise datacenters, telecommunications facilities, fiber-to-the-desktop installations, network equipment interconnections, and broadcast facilities. The 90-day limited warranty provides additional peace of mind for your installation. Free standard shipping on orders over $99, with convenient fulfillment from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensures quick delivery to your location.
