The JBX43188 6-meter LC/APC to FC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional optical network installations. Designed to meet rigorous telecommunications standards, this cable delivers exceptional performance reliability for mission-critical applications. Product Specifications: This simplex fiber patch cable features a 9/125 singlemode core constructed from G.657.A1 glass fiber, providing optimal performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. The cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation even in extended run scenarios. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Connector Design: The LC/APC-to-FC/UPC configuration provides optimal compatibility across diverse network infrastructures. The LC/APC connector offers superior return loss characteristics ideal for sensitive applications, while the FC/UPC termination ensures broad equipment compatibility. The straight-through polarity design enables straightforward installation without complex configuration. Construction & Compliance: The cable features OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing suitable for intra-building installations and plenum applications. With an outer diameter of just 1.8mm, this cable offers excellent space efficiency while maintaining durability. TAA compliance ensures eligibility for government and institutional procurement. Full RoHS/ELV directive compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data center backbone connectivity, enterprise LAN extensions, and network equipment interconnections. The simplex configuration suits unidirectional signal transmission scenarios, reducing installation costs compared to duplex cables. Manufacturing & Support: Manufactured across multiple locations (Taiwan, USA, China) with consistent quality standards. Ships from strategically located warehouses in Danville, CA; Fort Worth, TX; and Beaufort, SC. Custom length options accommodate specific installation requirements. Backed by 90-day limited warranty and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Maintenance & Care: Store in cool, dry conditions away from extreme temperatures. Protect connectors with dust caps when not in use. Handle with care to avoid sharp bends that could damage the fiber core. Regular inspection ensures optimal performance longevity.
