The JBX43249 7-meter LC/APC to ST/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professionals requiring reliable optical connectivity. Built with precision-engineered 9/125 singlemode fiber conforming to G.657.A1 standards, this cable delivers exceptional performance across critical telecommunications and data transmission applications. Key Technical Specifications: This cable features industry-leading insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Attenuation testing confirms 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm wavelengths, meeting stringent ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Durable Construction: The 1.8mm outside diameter simplex cable is jacketed with riser-rated (OFNR) yellow plastic, providing both visual identification and fire-safety compliance. This construction makes it suitable for in-building vertical runs and harsh environmental conditions. Compliance & Certification: TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified, this cable meets government procurement requirements and environmental standards. Manufactured in Taiwan, the US, or China with consistent quality across all facilities. Applications: Ideal for datacenter patch panels, telecommunications closets, fiber-to-the-home installations, and laboratory testing environments. The LC/APC to ST/UPC configuration bridges incompatible connector types without adapters, reducing signal loss and installation complexity. Value & Support: Each cable includes a 90-day limited warranty and ships from strategically located U.S. warehouses (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, or Beaufort SC). Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, making bulk purchasing economical. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or building new fiber networks, this TAA-compliant patch cable delivers the reliability and performance network professionals demand.
