The JBX43195 represents a premium solution for single-strand fiber optic connectivity, specifically designed for telecommunications professionals and network infrastructure specialists. This 20-meter LC/APC to FC/UPC simplex cable combines industry-standard specifications with exceptional build quality, making it ideal for connecting equipment across various network environments. Key Technical Specifications: Constructed with 9/125 G.657.A1 singlemode glass fiber, this cable ensures minimal signal degradation over distance. The attenuation rating of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm guarantees optimal performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. Insertion loss is measured at ≤0.35dB with a typical rating of 0.15dB, while return loss meets or exceeds 20dB, ensuring signal integrity. Physical Characteristics: The 1.8mm outside diameter provides flexibility without sacrificing durability. The yellow riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing offers superior visibility for identification and management while maintaining fire safety compliance. The plastic accessory materials are RoHS and ELV compliant, meeting EU directive 2002/95/EC standards. Compliance and Reliability: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, this cable meets government procurement standards. It carries a 90-day limited warranty and is manufactured to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, ensuring attenuation testing accuracy. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data centers, campus networks, and equipment interconnections requiring single-mode fiber transmission. The LC/APC connector provides low back-reflection, while the FC/UPC connection ensures secure, reliable mating. Customization and Availability: Custom lengths are available beyond the standard 20m option. The cable ships from multiple US distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC), ensuring rapid delivery with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Maintenance: Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight. Protect connectors with dust caps when not in use to maintain performance specifications.
