The JBX43247 5-meter LC/APC to ST/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade optical connectivity engineered for critical network environments. This cable bridges different connector types, making it essential for heterogeneous network infrastructures where LC and ST connectors coexist. Technical Excellence: Built on 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 glass specifications, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation over the 5-meter run. Return loss ratings of ≥20dB maintain signal integrity and reduce reflections that can compromise data transmission quality. These specifications have been validated according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Durable Construction: The yellow OFNR-rated (riser-rated) jacket provides flame-resistant protection suitable for in-wall installations and building risers. With a compact 1.8mm outer diameter, the cable offers flexibility for tight routing scenarios without compromising durability. The simplex design delivers single-strand transmission capability, ideal for unidirectional signal paths. Compliance & Standards: This patch cable is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and institutional procurement requirements. RoHS/ELV certification ensures environmental compliance and reduces hazardous materials. Manufacturing across Taiwan, US, and China locations ensures supply chain reliability. Applications: Perfect for data center interconnections, telecommunications backbone networks, enterprise campus networks, and medical imaging systems. The LC/APC to ST/UPC configuration addresses mixed-connector environments common in facility upgrades and expansions. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, and eligible for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Available in custom lengths for specialized applications. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery.
