The JBX43313 12-meter SC/APC to FC/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for organizations requiring reliable, standards-compliant fiber connectivity. This single-mode optical cable is engineered for telecommunications, data center, and enterprise network environments where signal quality and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. Technical Excellence: Utilizing G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, this cable supports singlemode transmission with a 9/125 micron core configuration. The specifications include insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at typical operation (0.15dB) and return loss of ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm meet ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, making this cable suitable for both short-reach and long-distance applications. Construction and Durability: The cable features a robust 1.8mm outer diameter with OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacketing, providing fire safety compliance for installations in building risers and plenum spaces. The yellow jacket aids in quick identification during cable management operations. Straight-through polarity configuration ensures straightforward installation without signal reversal concerns. Compliance and Certification: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable eligible for government procurement programs and ensures adherence to Buy American provisions. RoHS/ELV directive compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility and regulatory conformity. Applications: Ideal for connecting fiber-optic equipment, optical network terminals, and telecommunications infrastructure requiring SC/APC to FC/UPC compatibility. Commonly used in carrier networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs). Customization and Availability: Custom lengths are available to accommodate specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for critical installations. Case packaging accommodates 10 units, suitable for bulk deployments.
