The JBX43140 SC/APC to SC/UPC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents a premium solution for professional fiber-optic installations. This 45-meter cable is engineered with precision to meet the demanding requirements of modern telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise networks. Key Technical Specifications: This simplex cable features a 9/125 singlemode core constructed from G.657.A1 glass fiber, the industry standard for long-distance, low-loss signal transmission. The cable achieves exceptional performance metrics: insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at 0.15dB typical, and return loss exceeding 20dB. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure minimal signal degradation over extended distances. Construction & Compliance: The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) rated jacket provides superior fire resistance and safety ratings required for building installations. With a slim 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. Full RoHS/ELV compliance and TAA certification make it suitable for government and regulated industry projects. All cables are tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Connector Configuration: The SC/APC to SC/UPC configuration offers versatility for hybrid network setups, with angled physical contact (APC) on the source end and ultra-physical contact (UPC) on the destination. This straight-through polarity design simplifies installation and reduces setup complexity. Customization & Support: Custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements, providing flexibility beyond the standard 45m offering. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while multiple U.S. distribution centers enable fast, free standard shipping on qualifying orders. Ideal for telecommunications facilities, data centers, research institutions, and enterprise networking environments requiring reliable, certified fiber connectivity.
