The JBX43153 2m SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents an essential connectivity solution for modern telecommunications infrastructure. Designed for single-strand fiber signal transmission, this simplex cable accommodates unidirectional communication requirements in telecom systems, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) installations, and specialized network architectures. Technical Specifications: This cable features a precision 9/125 micrometer singlemode fiber core with G.657.A1 specification, optimized for both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Performance metrics include insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Attenuation ratings meet or exceed industry standards at 0.25 dB/km (1310nm) and 0.35 dB/km (1550nm). All specifications are validated according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. Physical Characteristics: The cable incorporates a robust 1.8mm outside diameter with riser-rated (OFNR) yellow PVC jacketing, providing flame resistance and building code compliance. The yellow coloring aids in rapid cable identification during installation and maintenance. SC/APC connectors feature 8-degree angled polishing, reducing back reflection and optimizing signal quality compared to standard SC/PC connectors. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for telecommunications service providers, data centers, and enterprise networks requiring dedicated single-strand connections. Suitable for FTTH deployments, metro networks, and specialized monitoring systems. The TAA compliance ensures government and federal procurement eligibility. Installation and Maintenance: With straight-through polarity and standard SC/APC connectors, installation follows industry best practices. The durable yellow jacket resists environmental stress and facilitates visual troubleshooting. Custom length options accommodate non-standard deployment requirements. Warranty and Support: 90-day limited warranty covers manufacturing defects. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, with multiple fulfillment locations ensuring rapid delivery.
