The JBX43342 SC/APC to FC/APC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents enterprise-class connectivity for mission-critical fiber optic networks. Engineered to ANSI/TIA/EIA standards and manufactured with precision, this 10-meter cable delivers the performance and reliability demanded by telecommunications professionals and data center operators. Technical Excellence: This simplex fiber patch cable features 9/125 singlemode construction paired with G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, ensuring superior signal integrity across long distances. The APC (angled physical contact) connectors on both ends minimize back reflection and optimize signal quality. With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 20dB, this cable meets stringent performance requirements for voice, video, and data applications. Constructive Design: The cable's 1.8mm outer diameter provides excellent flexibility for routing through cable trays and tight spaces without compromising durability. The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket offers superior fire resistance and riser-rated protection, making it suitable for vertical cable runs in multi-story installations. This construction meets EU RoHS/ELV directives and complies with TAA requirements for government and regulated procurement. Applications & Use Cases: Ideally suited for telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, network backbone connections, and long-haul signal transmission. The simplex configuration delivers unidirectional signal transmission, making it perfect for applications where separate transmit and receive paths are required. Whether upgrading existing fiber networks or building new installations, this cable provides reliable performance at competitive pricing. Flexibility & Support: Custom lengths are available for specialized installations, and the cable ships free on qualifying orders from multiple U.S. locations (Danville, CA; Fort Worth, TX; Beaufort, SC). The 90-day limited warranty ensures peace of mind with every purchase. Professional-grade construction meets industry standards and delivers the consistency networks depend on. Whether you're a network engineer, telecommunications contractor, or IT professional, the JBX43342 offers the performance, compliance, and reliability needed for demanding fiber optic applications.
