The JBX43425 FC/APC to FC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for mission-critical applications. This 3-meter cable combines superior optical performance with robust construction, making it ideal for telecom networks, data center interconnects, and enterprise fiber installations. Key Technical Features: This simplex cable utilizes a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, engineered to minimize signal degradation across extended runs. With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB and return loss ≥20dB, the cable maintains signal integrity meeting ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. The 1.8mm outside diameter ensures easy routing through cable trays and conduits. Construction & Compliance: The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacket provides fire-rated protection suitable for indoor installations. This cable is fully TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV directive compliant, meeting government procurement requirements. Available with custom lengths to suit specific installation needs. Performance & Reliability: Optical performance is optimized for both 1310nm (0.25 dB/km) and 1550nm (0.35 dB/km) wavelengths, supporting various telecom protocols. The FC/APC (angled physical contact) to FC/UPC (ultra-polished connector) configuration minimizes back reflection. Shipping & Support: Ship from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensures fast delivery. Enjoy free standard shipping on orders over $99. All cables include a 90-day limited warranty. Backed by rigorous attenuation testing and quality manufacturing across Taiwan, US, and China facilities.
