The JBX43315 SC/APC to FC/UPC fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for organizations requiring dependable optical fiber connectivity. Engineered with precision, this 20-meter simplex cable accommodates applications where single-direction fiber transmission is necessary. Key Technical Specifications: The cable features 9/125 singlemode glass fiber compatible with G.657.A1 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern fiber infrastructure. With an outer diameter of just 1.8mm, the compact design facilitates easier cable management in crowded equipment racks. Insertion loss is tested and certified at ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), while return loss maintains ≥20dB performance, meeting stringent telecommunications standards. Durability and Compliance: The yellow, riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacket provides flame resistance and durability for both horizontal and vertical installations. The cable is TAA compliant and manufactured to RoHS/ELV directives, ensuring it meets government procurement requirements. Attenuation specifications are verified at both 1310nm (0.25dB/km) and 1550nm (0.35dB/km) wavelengths, supporting diverse optical network architectures. Applications and Use Cases: This simplex patch cable excels in telecommunications networks, enterprise data centers, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, and laboratory testing environments. The SC/APC and FC/UPC connector combination accommodates various network equipment configurations, making it versatile across multiple deployment scenarios. Customization and Support: Custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements beyond the standard 20m offering. The product ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina), ensuring rapid delivery. Orders exceeding $99 qualify for free standard shipping. Maintenance Consideration: Periodically inspect connectors for dust accumulation and clean with fiber-specific cleaning supplies to maintain optimal performance. Store in cool, dry conditions to preserve jacket integrity.
