The JBX43187 5-meter LC/APC to FC/UPC singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity solution for modern telecommunications and data center applications. Engineered to exacting standards, this simplex cable delivers reliable, high-speed fiber optic transmission with minimal signal loss. Technical Excellence: This cable features a 9/125 singlemode fiber core constructed from G.657.A1 grade glass fiber, designed specifically for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance at 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the return loss of ≥20dB guarantees exceptional signal integrity. Independent attenuation testing confirms performance at both 1310nm (0.25dB/km) and 1550nm (0.35dB/km) wavelengths, meeting rigorous ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Construction & Safety: The cable's 1.8mm outer diameter accommodates tight cable routing requirements, while the OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated yellow jacket provides flame resistance and protection in indoor/outdoor environments. The bright yellow color ensures easy identification during installation and troubleshooting, reducing installation time and potential errors. Compliance & Standards: Fully TAA compliant for government procurement, RoHS and ELV directive adherent, and manufactured in facilities across Taiwan, US, and China. Includes 90-day limited warranty covering defects. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center interconnects, network backbone connections, and broadcast facilities. The simplex configuration suits applications requiring single-directional transmission, offering cost-effectiveness without compromising performance. Customization Available: Beyond the standard 5-meter length, custom lengths are available for specialized deployment requirements, allowing seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Quality Assurance: Each cable undergoes rigorous testing to ensure performance specifications are met, backed by compliance with industry standards and a 90-day warranty.
