The JBX43430 8-meter FC/APC to FC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity solutions for mission-critical network infrastructure. This single-strand fiber optic cable combines superior optical performance with robust construction to meet the demanding requirements of modern telecommunications and data transmission applications. Key Technical Specifications: This singlemode fiber features a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive specifications, delivering wavelength support at both 1310nm and 1550nm. The cable achieves exceptional attenuation levels of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35dB/km at 1550nm, with maximum insertion loss of 0.35dB and return loss of ≥20dB. These performance metrics ensure minimal signal degradation across extended network runs. Durable Construction and Compliance: The yellow OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing provides flame resistance and durability for in-building installations while enabling quick visual identification. With a compact 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable integrates efficiently into cable management systems. RoHS/ELV certified and TAA compliant, it meets government procurement standards and environmental regulations. Applications and Use Cases: Perfect for telecommunications networks, data center interconnects, long-haul transmission systems, and enterprise fiber installations. The straight-through polarity configuration ensures straightforward integration into existing network architectures. Quality Assurance: Attenuation tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, with comprehensive quality control. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Custom lengths available to accommodate specific installation requirements. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 from multiple US distribution centers (California, Texas, and South Carolina).
