The JBX43136 25m SC/APC to SC/UPC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents the gold standard in optical connectivity solutions for discerning professionals and organizations. Engineered with 9/125 singlemode fiber conforming to G.657.A1 specifications, this cable provides superior performance for long-distance signal transmission with minimal signal degradation. Key Performance Features: This fiber patch cable delivers exceptional optical performance with measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission. The attenuation characteristics are rigorously tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent performance at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. Connector Configuration: The SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) to SC/UPC (Ultrapolished Contact) configuration bridges different optical network generations, allowing seamless integration into mixed environments. The straight-through polarity ensures straightforward installation without compatibility concerns. Construction & Compliance: Featuring a robust 1.8mm outer diameter with OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacketing, this cable meets fire safety codes for riser installations. TAA compliance ensures procurement eligibility for government and enterprise accounts. RoHS/ELV directive compliance aligns with environmental standards. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification and organization within cable management systems. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data center interconnects, campus networks, and broadband distribution systems. The simplex configuration serves single-directional applications, making it cost-effective for dedicated transmission paths. Customization & Support: Custom lengths available for unique installation requirements. 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind.
