The JBX43171 SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents premium connectivity for demanding telecommunications and data center environments. This meticulously engineered 50-meter cable delivers exceptional optical performance with minimal signal degradation, making it ideal for long-distance fiber optic installations where signal integrity is paramount. Key Technical Specifications: This cable features a 9/125 micrometer singlemode core optimized for both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, with attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) ensures minimal signal loss over the full 50-meter length, while return loss of ≥20dB provides excellent signal reflection characteristics. All attenuation testing complies with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing reliable performance. Construction and Compliance: The cable features a durable 1.8mm outer diameter with OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacketing, meeting fire safety requirements for indoor installations. The bright yellow jacket simplifies cable management and identification in complex installations. SC/APC connectors provide superior performance through their angled-polish design, minimizing back-reflection and ensuring clean optical interfaces. TAA Compliance: As a TAA-compliant product, this cable meets requirements for U.S. government and federal procurement, making it suitable for institutional, educational, and government network infrastructure projects. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for data center backbone connections, telecommunications networks, campus area networks (CAN), and metro-area network (MAN) implementations. The simplex configuration suits applications requiring unidirectional signal transmission or paired-cable installations. Custom Availability: Available in custom lengths to meet specific installation requirements beyond the standard 50-meter configuration. Warranty and Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Ships from multiple U.S. locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
