The JBX43156 SC/APC to SC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for optical networking requiring single-strand connectivity over 4 meters. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern telecommunications infrastructure, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance metrics that professionals rely on. Optical Performance Excellence: This singlemode patch cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at typical conditions, with standard attenuation of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. Return loss ratings of ≥20dB ensure signal integrity and minimize reflections, critical for high-bandwidth applications. Performance testing follows ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing reliability in production environments. Advanced Fiber Technology: The 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber enables extended transmission distances with minimal signal degradation. This specification is ideal for campus networks, long-haul connections, and applications requiring superior bandwidth and distance capabilities compared to multimode alternatives. Compliance and Standards: TAA compliance makes this cable suitable for government and regulated enterprise procurement. RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility, while manufacturing in Taiwan, US, and China provides supply chain flexibility. Durable Construction: The yellow OFNR-rated jacket provides flame resistance for riser installations, visibility for network identification, and protection against physical damage. The compact 1.8mm outer diameter simplifies cable routing in congested cabinets and ducts. Applications: Perfect for data center backbone connections, telecom infrastructure, enterprise campus networks, and any application requiring single-strand singlemode connectivity. The SC/APC connector pair minimizes back-reflection issues common in standard SC/UPC designs. Custom Solutions: Available in custom lengths beyond 4 meters to accommodate specific network layouts and requirements. Included 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in deployment. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 delivers exceptional value for bulk network upgrades.
