The JBX43361 SC/APC to ST/UPC 1-meter simplex fiber patch cable represents the ideal solution for professionals requiring precise, high-performance optical connectivity. Engineered with meticulous attention to quality and standards compliance, this cable excels in telecommunications networks, data centers, and enterprise installations where signal integrity is paramount. **Superior Optical Performance** This singlemode fiber cable operates with exceptional efficiency, delivering insertion loss of just ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss exceeding 20dB. The 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 glass fiber construction minimizes signal degradation, while attenuation rates of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35dB/km at 1550nm ensure reliable long-distance transmission. These specifications exceed industry standards and support critical telecommunications applications. **Connector Compatibility & Design** The combination of SC/APC (angled physical contact) and ST/UPC (straight physical contact) connectors provides versatile connectivity options across heterogeneous network environments. The straight-through polarity configuration ensures straightforward installation without confusion. The bright yellow jacket facilitates quick identification in cable-dense installations, reducing troubleshooting time and installation errors. **Regulatory Compliance & Safety** TAA-compliant and RoHS certified per EU directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets stringent government procurement and environmental standards. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser Rated) jacketing ensures safe installation in vertical cable pathways within commercial buildings, complying with fire safety codes and building regulations. **Flexibility & Customization** While this product features a standard 1-meter length, custom lengths are available to accommodate specific installation requirements. The 1.8mm outer diameter provides space-efficient routing through conduit and cable management systems. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. **Durability & Support** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, this cable represents a low-risk investment in network infrastructure. Professional-grade construction and rigorous testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards guarantee consistent performance and longevity, making it an economical choice for installations requiring dependable optical connectivity over extended periods.
