The JBX43352 55-meter SC/APC to FC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade optical connectivity for critical infrastructure applications. This single-strand cable is engineered specifically for unidirectional signal transmission, making it ideal for dedicated uplink or downlink connections in telecommunications networks, data centers, and enterprise installations. Optical Performance & Standards Built with 9/125 micron singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 glass fiber composition, this cable meets rigorous industry standards. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure minimal signal loss over the full 55-meter length. Insertion loss is ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), while return loss exceeds 20dB—critical parameters for maintaining signal integrity in long-distance or high-speed communications. Connector Technology The SC/APC to FC/APC connector configuration combines superior performance characteristics. APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors minimize back-reflection, reducing signal distortion and crosstalk. SC connectors offer excellent durability and ease of use, while FC connectors provide robust mechanical coupling ideal for demanding environments. Construction & Durability The 1.8mm outside diameter jacket is OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated, meeting NEC standards for indoor riser installations. The bright yellow jacket aids in quick identification and cable management. RoHS/ELV compliant construction ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance across global markets. Compliance & Availability TAA compliant for federal procurement requirements. Available in custom lengths for specialized applications. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Ships from strategically located US facilities (California, Texas, and South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Ideal Applications Singlemode telecommunications links, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployments, data center backbone connections, broadcast facilities, and university/research networks requiring low-loss, long-distance optical transmission.
