The JBX43448 fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for organizations requiring reliable, standards-compliant fiber optic connectivity. This 85-meter simplex cable is specifically designed to connect FC/APC connectors on one end to FC/UPC connectors on the other, making it ideal for applications where mixed connector types are necessary or during network migrations. Key Technical Specifications: The cable features a 9/125 singlemode core configuration, the industry standard for long-distance telecommunications. The G.657.A1 glass fiber specification ensures compatibility with modern network infrastructure while supporting bend-insensitive applications. Attenuation performance meets strict standards at both 1310nm (0.25 dB/km) and 1550nm (0.35 dB/km) wavelengths, ensuring reliable signal transmission across diverse network topologies. Performance & Reliability: With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB and return loss exceeding 20dB, this cable delivers superior optical performance critical for sensitive telecommunications equipment. The FC/APC connector features a 8-degree angle-polished end face, reducing back reflections and signal degradation. The simplex configuration transmits signals in one direction, perfect for dedicated transmission or reception circuits. Compliance & Standards: TAA compliant status qualifies this cable for government and federal procurement. RoHS/ELV compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility, while adherence to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171 standards ensures interoperability with existing network equipment. Physical Construction: The yellow OFNR riser-rated jacket provides both visibility and flame resistance, meeting building fire codes. At 1.8mm outside diameter, the cable fits within standard fiber management systems and patch panel configurations. The durable plastic accessory components ensure long-term reliability in both indoor and temperature-controlled environments. Applications & Use Cases: Ideally suited for data centers, telecommunications facilities, research institutions, and government networks requiring TAA-compliant equipment. Perfect for connecting fiber test equipment, network switches, and optical transport systems. The 85-meter length accommodates medium-distance runs while maintaining signal integrity. Customization & Support: Available in custom lengths to match your specific infrastructure requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and manufactured in Taiwan, the US, or China with consistent quality standards. This professional-grade solution eliminates guesswork in fiber optic connectivity, delivering predictable performance for mission-critical applications where signal quality cannot be compromised.
