The JBX43142 SC/APC to SC/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for mission-critical network infrastructure. This 55-meter cable combines precision engineering with compliance certifications required by government and enterprise procurement standards. **Technical Specifications:** Built with a 9/125 singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable achieves exceptional performance metrics. The insertion loss rating of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance at 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while return loss exceeding 20dB prevents problematic reflections. Attenuation measurements of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm meet or exceed industry standards established by ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001. **Key Features:** - TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant for government procurement - OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing for building code compliance - Bright yellow jacket for easy identification and traceability - Simplex construction for dedicated unidirectional signal transmission - 1.8mm outside diameter for space-efficient routing - Straight-through polarity configuration **Applications:** Ideal for telecommunications networks, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployments, data center interconnects, and long-distance backbone connections. The singlemode design supports wavelengths across the C-band (1550nm) and L-band, making it suitable for DWDM and coherent optical systems. **Compliance & Support:** RoHS and ELV compliant, manufactured to stringent quality standards in Taiwan, US, or China facilities. All units undergo attenuation testing per applicable standards. A 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for critical installations. Custom lengths are available for specialized network designs. Ships from multiple US distribution centers with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
