The JBX43404 SC/APC to ST/APC singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for critical fiber optic network infrastructure. This 15-meter simplex cable is manufactured to exacting standards and thoroughly tested to ensure consistent, reliable performance in demanding telecommunications environments. Technical Specifications: This cable features a 9/125 singlemode fiber core conforming to G.657.A1 specifications, offering superior performance characteristics suitable for long-distance signal transmission. The SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) to ST/APC connector configuration minimizes back-reflection and ensures optimal signal integrity. Insertion loss is rigorously tested and verified at ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), with return loss exceeding 20dB—exceeding industry standards for signal quality. Performance & Compliance: Attenuation specifications are verified at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. The cable achieves 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm, ensuring minimal signal degradation. TAA compliance makes this cable ideal for government contracts and institutional projects with strict procurement requirements. Full RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence. Construction & Durability: The 1.8mm outside diameter jacketing is rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser), suitable for vertical runs in multi-story buildings while maintaining fire safety standards. The bright yellow jacket provides superior visibility for identification, termination, and troubleshooting. Robust construction ensures durability in both indoor and conduit-based installations. Customization & Flexibility: While this product is available as a standard 15-meter configuration, custom lengths are available upon request to meet specific installation requirements. This flexibility allows for efficient network design without excess cable waste. Applications: Perfect for data center interconnects, telecommunications equipment connections, FTTP installations, network upgrades, and any application requiring reliable singlemode fiber transmission. The combination of low insertion loss, high return loss, and TAA compliance makes this cable suitable for mission-critical network infrastructure. Warranty & Support: 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product reliability. Backed by professional customer support and free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
