The JBX43331 SC/APC to FC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional fiber optic installations requiring precision, reliability, and compliance. With 1 meter of carefully engineered single-strand fiber, this cable bridges the connection gap between SC/APC and FC/APC connector types in demanding telecommunications and data center environments. **Technical Excellence:** Crafted with 9/125 singlemode fiber and G.657.A1 glass composition, this cable meets industry-leading performance standards. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance at 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation across 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, critical for high-speed data transmission. Return loss of ≥20dB provides excellent signal integrity and minimizes reflections that could compromise network performance. **Compliance & Safety:** TAA compliance ensures this cable meets U.S. federal procurement requirements, making it ideal for government and regulated industry projects. RoHS/ELV compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility, while OFNR riser-rated jacketing allows installation in vertical cable routes and spaces without plenum requirements. The plastic outer jacket in distinctive yellow aids visual identification in complex installations. **Practical Design Features:** The 1.8mm compact diameter facilitates routing through cable management systems without excessive bulk. The simplex configuration provides single-direction signal transmission with straight-through polarity, simplifying network architecture. Manufactured in the U.S., Taiwan, and China, with quality assurance backing, this cable combines accessibility with dependable construction. **Applications:** Ideal for telecommunications networks, data centers, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, and enterprise LAN environments. The SC/APC connector combination supports both transmit and receive signal paths when deployed in complementary dual-strand configurations. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty. Custom lengths are available for unique installation requirements. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, with shipment options from multiple U.S. distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, or Beaufort SC).
