The JBX43279 LC/APC to ST/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents the ideal solution for professionals requiring reliable, standards-compliant fiber optic connectivity. This 7-meter cable is engineered to deliver consistent performance in demanding network environments, from data centers to telecommunications infrastructure. **Technical Excellence:** Feturing a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber specification, this cable provides superior signal integrity over extended distances. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB exceed industry standards, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Performance is verified in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, providing assurance of quality and reliability. **Connector Specifications:** The LC/APC (Lucent Connector with Angled Physical Contact) to ST/APC (Straight Tip with Angled Physical Contact) configuration ensures optimal signal transmission and minimal reflectance. Both connector types utilize angled polishing for superior return loss characteristics, critical for sensitive telecommunications applications. **Durability and Compliance:** Constructed with a 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable balances flexibility with protection. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated yellow jacket provides fire safety for building installations while offering easy cable identification. TAA compliance and RoHS/ELV certification ensure suitability for government projects and environmentally conscious procurement. **Applications:** Ideal for point-to-point fiber links, telecommunications networks, high-speed data transmission, and testing equipment connections. The simplex design transmits signals in one direction, making it suitable for dedicated transmission paths where bidirectional communication is handled by separate cables. **Flexibility and Support:** Custom lengths are available for specialized installations, and the cable ships from strategically located US warehouses (Danville, CA; Fort Worth, TX; Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in your investment. Whether you're building critical network infrastructure or upgrading existing systems, the JBX43279 delivers the performance, compliance, and reliability professionals demand.
