The JBX43367 5-meter SC/APC to ST/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for critical fiber optic connectivity applications. This single-strand cable is engineered to bridge different connector types seamlessly while maintaining exceptional optical performance. Key Technical Features: This cable utilizes 9/125 singlemode fiber conforming to ITU-T G.657.A1 specifications, ensuring compatibility with modern fiber networks. The SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector on one end provides superior return loss characteristics, while the ST/UPC (Straight Physical Contact) connector on the opposite end offers broad compatibility. The construction delivers insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at typical wavelengths and maintains return loss ≥20dB, tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Durable Construction: The 1.8mm outside diameter cable features yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing, which is flame-retardant and suitable for indoor riser installations. This rating ensures compliance with building safety codes while providing excellent mechanical protection. The cable is manufactured to the highest standards with RoHS/ELV compliance and EU directive 2002/95/EC adherence. Professional Credentials: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable eligible for U.S. government and institutional procurement. It's manufactured in Taiwan, the United States, or China, with multiple domestic shipping locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensuring rapid delivery. Applications & Benefits: Ideal for data center migrations, telecommunications infrastructure, laboratory testing, and enterprise LAN installations requiring mixed connector types. The simplex design accommodates unidirectional signal transmission, making it perfect for applications using separate transmit and receive cables. Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and qualified for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, this cable provides reliable performance with professional support. Its proven attenuation specifications (1310 nm: 0.25 dB/km; 1550 nm: 0.35 dB/km) ensure consistent, long-distance signal transmission quality.
