The JBX43229 40-meter LC/APC to FC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents premium connectivity for professional network installations. Designed for telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise environments, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance while maintaining compliance with government and regulatory standards. Optical Performance Specifications: This singlemode cable utilizes a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 grade glass fiber, optimized for long-distance signal transmission. Insertion loss is specified at ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical), while return loss maintains ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Attenuation testing conducted per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards confirms performance at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Connector Design: The LC/APC (Lucent/Angled Physical Contact) to FC/APC (Fixed Connector/Angled Physical Contact) configuration provides superior return loss characteristics through angled polishing. This straight-through polarity design ensures seamless integration with existing network infrastructure. Physical Characteristics: The 1.8mm outside diameter jacket provides easy cable management and routing through conduits and cable trays. The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing offers both visibility and fire safety compliance for building installations. Compliance and Standards: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and RoHS/ELV certified, this cable meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC requirements. Multiple manufacturing locations (Taiwan, US, China) ensure consistent global availability. Customization and Support: Offered in standard 40-meter length with custom length options available. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and qualifying for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Shipped from convenient US distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina. Applications: Ideal for mission-critical telecommunications, high-speed data center interconnects, campus networks, and long-distance signal transmission where signal integrity and reliability are paramount.
