The JBX43169 40-meter SC/APC to SC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professionals requiring reliable, high-performance optical connectivity. This single-strand cable features a 9/125 singlemode fiber core constructed with G.657.A1 glass, specifically designed for long-distance signal transmission in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks. Key Performance Characteristics: This cable delivers industry-leading specifications with insertion loss rated at ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical), ensuring minimal signal degradation over the 40-meter run. The return loss specification of ≥20dB provides exceptional signal integrity. Attenuation performance meets strict standards: 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm, making it suitable for both legacy and modern optical systems. All performance metrics are tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Durable Construction: The 1.8mm outside diameter cable is jacketed with OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated material, providing flame resistance and compliance with building codes. The yellow jacket aids in quick identification during installation and maintenance. SC/APC connectors feature angled polished surfaces, reducing back reflection and optimizing signal quality compared to flat-polished connectors. Compliance & Reliability: TAA compliant for federal procurement requirements. RoHS/ELV certified, meeting EU environmental directives. The cable includes a 90-day limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Available in custom lengths for specific application needs, with domestic shipping from three US locations ensuring rapid delivery. Applications: Ideal for high-speed network backbone connections, telecommunications infrastructure, data center patch panels, and long-distance fiber runs requiring single-mode performance. The straight-through polarity configuration ensures straightforward installation in standard fiber optic systems. Value Proposition: Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 makes this enterprise-grade solution cost-effective for both small installations and large-scale deployments. Quality construction, rigorous testing standards, and compliance certifications ensure this cable performs reliably in mission-critical applications.
