The JBX43334 SC/APC to FC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents the ideal solution for professionals requiring single-strand fiber connectivity in demanding network environments. This 2.5-meter cable combines precision engineering with cost-effective simplicity, making it an excellent choice for telecom infrastructure, data center interconnects, and enterprise fiber networks. Key Technical Specifications: This cable features 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive specifications, enabling flexible installation without signal degradation. The APC (angled physical contact) connectors on both ends minimize reflectance and ensure ultra-low return loss (≥20dB), critical for preventing signal bounce in sensitive applications. With measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at 1310nm and attenuation rates of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35dB/km at 1550nm, this cable excels across standard telecom wavelengths. Compliance and Safety: Manufactured to meet government procurement standards, the JBX43334 carries full TAA compliance certification. The cable adheres to EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, eliminating hazardous substances. OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacketing provides fire-rated protection suitable for vertical cable runs in commercial buildings. Design and Durability: The bright yellow jacket facilitates identification within cable bundles and racks, reducing installation errors. At 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable maintains flexibility for tight routing scenarios while protecting the fiber core. The straight-through simplex configuration enables straightforward point-to-point connections without complexity. Customization Options: Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 2.5-meter offering, allowing network architects to eliminate excess cabling and reduce material waste. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Warranty and Support: Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty demonstrating manufacturer confidence in product quality. Testing conducted per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards ensures consistent performance metrics. Perfect for network professionals upgrading legacy systems, deploying new fiber infrastructure, or requiring reliable single-strand connectivity in space-constrained installations.
