The JBX43172 SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for demanding telecommunications, data center, and enterprise network applications. At 55 meters, this single-strand cable delivers the extended reach necessary for complex infrastructure deployments while maintaining exceptional signal integrity. Technical Excellence: This cable features a 9/125 micrometer core with premium G.657.A1 glass fiber, specifically selected for singlemode long-distance transmission. Performance metrics are rigorously tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring reliability across both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. The insertion loss specification of 0.15dB typical (maximum 0.35dB) and return loss greater than 20dB provide superior signal preservation, critical for maintaining data integrity over extended distances. Construction and Durability: The 1.8mm outer diameter enables flexible routing through conduits and cable trays without compromising signal quality. OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing provides flame-retardant protection while maintaining compact dimensions (5.0" x 0.2"), making installation in tight spaces straightforward. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification within complex cable management systems. Compliance and Versatility: Fully TAA-compliant and certified to RoHS/ELV directives (EU 2002/95/EC), this cable meets government procurement requirements. Manufactured in Taiwan, US, or China locations, it ships from strategically positioned US warehouses (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, data center backbone connections, and long-distance signal transmission in enterprise environments. The SC/APC connector standard offers superior return loss performance compared to SC/UPC alternatives, reducing reflective interference. Customization Available: Beyond the standard 55m specification, custom lengths are available to match your exact deployment requirements. All cables include a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The JBX43172 delivers uncompromising performance where fiber signal integrity matters most.
