The JBX43428 FC/APC to FC/UPC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for demanding fiber optic networks. This 6-meter cable is engineered for telecommunications, data center, and enterprise networking applications where signal integrity and reliability are paramount. Technical Excellence: The cable features a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, providing superior performance characteristics. With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB, this cable exceeds industry standards for signal transmission. Attenuation ratings of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure consistent performance across telecommunications wavelengths. Connector Configuration: The FC/APC to FC/UPC connector pairing accommodates mixed-connector installations common in enterprise environments. FC/APC connectors provide superior return loss characteristics, while FC/UPC compatibility ensures broad system integration. The simplex (single fiber) design is ideal for applications requiring unidirectional signal transmission or cost-effective point-to-point connections. Durability and Compliance: The yellow OFNR (riser-rated) jacket provides flame resistance and durability while enabling easy cable identification in complex installations. TAA compliance certifies suitability for government procurement and classified environments. RoHS/ELV directives ensure environmental responsibility. The 1.8mm outside diameter balances protection with manageable installation in standard conduit systems. Versatility and Support: While this cable arrives in standard 6-meter configuration, custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements. The 90-day limited warranty backs product reliability. Multiple domestic shipping locations from Danville, CA, Fort Worth, TX, and Beaufort, SC ensure rapid delivery. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure upgrades, data center backbone connections, DWDM system installations, and legacy network maintenance requiring mixed-connector compatibility. Perfect for broadcast facilities, research institutions, and government installations where TAA compliance is mandatory. This professional-grade fiber patch cable delivers the performance, compliance, and reliability required by mission-critical network environments.
