The JBX43100 LC/APC to SC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents the ideal solution for network professionals requiring high-performance connectivity in telecommunications, data center, and enterprise network environments. This 8-meter cable combines superior optical performance with practical design features that simplify installation and maintenance. **Technical Excellence** Built on a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance. With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB, it meets stringent standards for critical applications. The cable is tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001, ensuring consistent quality across both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths with attenuation of 0.25 dB/km and 0.35 dB/km respectively. **Professional Design** The bright yellow OFNR riser-rated jacket provides excellent visibility in crowded cable environments while meeting building code fire ratings. The 1.8mm compact diameter fits standard patch panels and equipment interfaces without requiring additional adaptation. LC/APC and SC/APC connectors feature angle-polished ferrules for superior return loss performance and reduced back-reflection, critical for maintaining signal integrity in modern optical networks. **Compliance & Reliability** This cable is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government, educational, and large enterprise procurement processes. Full RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility, while the 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind. Straight-through polarity configuration ensures seamless integration into existing network infrastructure. **Versatile Applications** Ideal for fiber backbone connections, equipment interconnects, and network upgrades, this simplex configuration works perfectly for unidirectional signal transmission. Perfect for telecommunications facilities, data centers, campus networks, and any installation requiring reliable singlemode fiber connectivity. **Convenient Ordering** Available with free standard shipping on orders over $99, with fulfillment from strategically located distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina. Custom lengths are available to accommodate specific installation requirements, ensuring you get exactly what your project needs without overspending on excess cable length.
