The JBX43458 6m FC/APC to FC/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern network infrastructure. With its superior optical performance and TAA compliance, this cable is the preferred choice for government, enterprise, and telecommunications applications requiring federal procurement standards. **Technical Specifications:** This simplex fiber patch cable utilizes 9/125 singlemode fiber core technology, specifically engineered for single-strand signal transmission over extended distances. The FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors provide superior return loss characteristics (≥20dB), ensuring signal integrity and minimal reflections—critical for DWDM and other high-density optical systems. The cable achieves exceptional low-loss performance with insertion loss of just 0.15dB typical (≤0.35dB maximum), measured in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. At 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, attenuation remains at or below 0.35dB/km, supporting long-distance telecommunications applications. **Construction & Durability:** The 1.8mm yellow outer diameter jacket is OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) rated, making it suitable for in-wall installation in vertical runs between floors. The yellow color provides excellent visibility for cable management and identification in crowded patch panels. G.657.A1 fiber specification ensures bend-insensitive performance without compromising signal quality. **Compliance & Standards:** Fully RoHS/ELV compliant and TAA-certified, this cable meets federal procurement requirements for U.S. government projects. All materials comply with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). **Custom Options:** While this product is offered in a standard 6-meter length, custom lengths are available to suit specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations with free standard shipping on orders over $99. **Applications:** • Enterprise data center interconnects • Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations • Telecommunications backbone networks • DWDM system deployments • Campus network infrastructure • Government and regulated industry requirements Invest in reliable, standards-compliant fiber connectivity backed by a 90-day limited warranty.
