The JBX43161 SC/APC to SC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents the gold standard in optical fiber connectivity for professional networking installations. Manufactured with precision to exacting industry standards, this 9-meter cable delivers superior performance for critical telecommunications and data transmission applications. **Superior Performance Specifications** This singlemode fiber patch cable features a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 glass fiber specifications, optimized for both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths. The ultra-low insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and exceptional return loss of ≥20dB ensure minimal signal degradation over long distances. Attenuation ratings of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm exceed industry expectations. **Robust Construction & Safety** The cable features a 1.8mm outside diameter with riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing, making it ideal for vertical installations between building floors. The durable plastic construction with protective yellow jacket provides easy identification and cable management in complex network environments. All components are manufactured in Taiwan, US, or China with strict quality control. **Compliance & Certification** Fully TAA-compliant and certified under RoHS/ELV and EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets government procurement requirements and environmental standards. Performance testing follows ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing reliability and consistency. **Versatile Applications** Ideal for telecommunications networks, data centers, CATV systems, and high-speed LAN installations. The straight-through polarity and SC/APC connectors ensure compatibility with standard network equipment. Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. **Value & Support** Includes a 90-day limited warranty and ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensuring fast delivery. Orders over $99 qualify for free standard shipping. Whether upgrading legacy systems or building new fiber infrastructure, the JBX43161 delivers professional-grade performance at competitive pricing. **Care & Maintenance** Protect connector ends with dust caps when not in use. Avoid excessive bending beyond the minimum bend radius. Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight to maintain optimal fiber performance.
