The JBX43477 80-meter FC/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents an enterprise-grade solution for organizations requiring reliable, long-distance fiber optic connectivity. Engineered with precision manufacturing and rigorous quality testing, this cable meets the demanding requirements of telecommunications, data centers, and critical network infrastructure. Technical Excellence: Built with 9/125 singlemode fiber featuring G.657.A1 specifications, this cable delivers superior performance characteristics. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance at 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal loss, while the return loss specification of ≥20dB provides excellent signal integrity. Attenuation measurements of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm comply with industry standards for both short-wave and long-wave transmissions. Design & Durability: The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket provides fire-safe operation in vertical runs while maintaining flexibility. The bright yellow outer jacket aids in rapid identification during installation and maintenance. At 1.8mm outside diameter, the cable maintains optimal flexibility without compromising durability. All components comply with RoHS/ELV directives and EU 2002/95/EC standards, ensuring environmental responsibility. Connector Performance: FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors deliver superior return loss characteristics compared to FC/PC alternatives, reducing back-reflection and improving signal quality. The simplex (single-strand) configuration supports point-to-point transmission applications. Compliance & Reliability: Full TAA compliance makes this cable suitable for government and institutional purchases. Attenuation testing follows ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for critical installations. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center backbone connections, enterprise WAN links, and long-distance optical signal transmission. The 80-meter length accommodates substantial distances while maintaining signal integrity. Available with flexible shipping from three US locations (Danville, CA; Fort Worth, TX; Beaufort, SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Custom lengths available to match specific installation requirements.
