The JBX43183 2-meter LC/APC to FC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents an essential component for telecommunications infrastructure, data center operations, and fiber-optic network installations. This cable combines precision engineering with rigorous quality standards to deliver reliable, high-performance fiber connectivity. **Technical Excellence** Built with a 9/125 micron singlemode core and G.657.A1 specification glass fiber, this cable minimizes modal dispersion and supports long-distance transmission. The LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector provides superior return loss characteristics (≥20dB), while the FC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) termination ensures optimal coupling efficiency. Insertion loss remains exceptionally low at 0.15dB typical and 0.35dB maximum, meeting or exceeding industry standards. **Compliance and Standards** Fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, this cable satisfies U.S. federal procurement requirements for government contracts. Manufacturing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 attenuation testing standards and incorporates RoHS/ELV directives, ensuring environmental responsibility without compromising performance. **Installation Advantages** The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket provides fire safety certification for vertical installations in building risers. The 1.8mm outside diameter enables flexible routing through tight spaces. Simplex configuration suits point-to-point applications or dedicated unidirectional signal paths in complex network topologies. **Versatile Applications** Ideal for telecom central offices, data centers, enterprise networks, and fiber-to-the-premise installations. Supports both 1310nm and 1550nm operating wavelengths for compatibility with diverse equipment. **Availability and Support** Custom lengths available upon request. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) ensuring rapid delivery. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by 90-day limited warranty.
