The JBX43151 SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade optical connectivity engineered for demanding telecommunications and data center applications. This 1-meter simplex cable delivers reliable, high-fidelity signal transmission with specifications optimized for both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. **Technical Excellence:** Construction utilizes 9/125 micron G.657.A1 singlemode fiber, the industry standard for long-distance, high-bandwidth communication. The cable achieves exceptional performance metrics: typical insertion loss of 0.15dB, return loss exceeding 20dB, and consistent attenuation across operating wavelengths. These specifications ensure minimal signal degradation over extended distances, critical for maintaining network reliability and data integrity. **Connector Technology:** SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors minimize back-reflection to -50dB or better, significantly reducing signal loss compared to standard UPC connectors. The straight-through polarity configuration simplifies network design and reduces installation complexity. Connectors are precision-manufactured to ensure repeatable, low-loss connections through multiple mating cycles. **Physical Characteristics:** The bright yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacket provides excellent visibility for cable identification and routing, reducing installation errors. The compact 1.8mm diameter fits standard cable trays and conduits. Flexible design accommodates various installation scenarios while maintaining structural integrity and bend performance. **Compliance & Standards:** TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant for government procurement. RoHS/ELV certified for environmental compliance. Manufactured to rigorous ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards ensuring consistent quality. Available in multiple lengths for custom network configurations. **Applications:** Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center interconnects, enterprise campus networks, and laboratory optical systems. The simplex configuration suits point-to-point links requiring single-direction transmission or as part of dual-cable full-duplex systems. **Warranty & Support:** 90-day limited warranty backed by technical support. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with fulfillment from multiple US locations ensuring rapid delivery. Custom lengths available for specialized installations.
