The JBX43311 SC/APC to FC/UPC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade optical connectivity engineered for critical telecommunications and data center infrastructure. This 9-meter singlemode cable combines precision engineering with compliance certifications required by government and enterprise customers worldwide. TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE: Features a 9/125 singlemode core utilizing G.657.A1 glass fiber, optimized for bend-insensitive operation in space-constrained environments. The cable achieves exceptional performance metrics: insertion loss ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), return loss ≥20dB, and attenuation specifications of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35dB/km at 1550nm. These measurements ensure minimal signal degradation across single-mode wavelengths commonly used in enterprise networks. COMPLIANCE & RELIABILITY: TAA-compliant certification meets Buy American Act requirements for government contracts. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The riser-rated (OFNR) yellow jacket meets UL fire safety standards while providing excellent visibility during installation and maintenance. SC/APC connectors feature angled polish for superior return loss characteristics, while FC/UPC connectors utilize straight polish, ideal for applications requiring interoperability across mixed connector types. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data centers, campus backbones, and equipment interconnections. The simplex design suits unidirectional signal transmission, while the 1.8mm compact diameter facilitates dense cable routing in crowded conduits. CUSTOMIZATION & CONVENIENCE: Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 9m offering. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and sold in bulk packaging (10x10x10) for enterprise deployments.
