The JBX43197 30-meter LC/APC to FC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a critical infrastructure component for organizations requiring reliable, high-speed optical signal transmission. This professional-grade cable bridges the connectivity gap between equipment utilizing different fiber optic connector types, making it essential for network upgrades, equipment migrations, and mixed-vendor installations. Technical Excellence and Performance: Built with premium 9/125 singlemode fiber, this cable delivers superior performance characteristics. The attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure minimal signal loss over the 30-meter span, critical for long-distance telecommunications applications. Insertion loss measurements of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB exceed standard requirements, guaranteeing optimal signal quality and system reliability. Testing compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards validates performance consistency. Connector Technology: The LC/APC to FC/UPC connector pairing accommodates diverse equipment configurations common in modern networks. LC/APC connectors feature angled physical contact for superior return loss, while FC/UPC connectors provide universal compatibility. The simplex (single-strand) configuration suits applications requiring unidirectional signal transmission. Installation and Compliance: The bright yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated) jacket provides visibility during installations while meeting building code requirements for riser applications. The compact 1.8mm outer diameter facilitates installation in cable trays, conduits, and tight routing scenarios. TAA compliance (Trade Agreements Act) qualifies this cable for government and federal procurement programs. Fiber Characteristics: G.657.A1 fiber construction provides bend-insensitive performance, reducing stress on connections during installation and operation. This advanced fiber type maintains performance even with tighter bend radii than traditional singlemode fiber, enhancing installation flexibility. Customization and Support: Custom lengths are available for specialized requirements beyond the standard 30-meter specification. Multiple U.S. distribution points (Danville, CA; Fort Worth, TX; Beaufort, SC) enable rapid shipping with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product quality and reliability. Applications: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, network backbone installations, equipment interconnections, and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployments requiring connector type adaptation.
