The JBX43481 ST/APC to ST/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for telecommunications, data centers, and network infrastructure. Manufactured with precision in Taiwan, the United States, or China, this 1-meter cable delivers consistent, high-performance optical signal transmission. Key Technical Features: This simplex cable utilizes 9/125 singlemode fiber construction with G.657.A1 glass specification, ideal for long-distance signal propagation with minimal attenuation. At 1310 nm, the attenuation measures 0.25 dB/km, while at 1550 nm it reaches 0.35 dB/km, ensuring efficient performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) demonstrates exceptional connection quality, while the ≥20dB return loss prevents signal reflection issues. Connector Configuration: The ST/APC (Angled Physical Contact) to ST/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) configuration accommodates mixed network environments requiring inter-platform compatibility. The straight-through polarity design simplifies installation in standard networking scenarios. Compliance & Safety: Full TAA compliance ensures suitability for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV directive compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacket rating permits installation in vertical cable runs within buildings without conduit. Applications: Ideal for secure government networks, healthcare facilities, financial institutions, and enterprise data centers. The visible yellow jacket aids installation and maintenance identification. Customization & Support: Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 1-meter configuration. All cables are attenuation-tested per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, with shipments available from three U.S. distribution centers. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product reliability and manufacturer support.
