The JBX43483 ST/APC to ST/UPC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents a professional-grade solution for connecting fiber optic network equipment in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise environments. This 2-meter cable delivers reliable optical signal transmission with specifications engineered to meet or exceed industry standards. **Technical Excellence:** Built with a 9/125 micron singlemode core and G.657.A1 grade glass fiber, this cable provides superior optical characteristics. The ≤0.35dB insertion loss (0.15dB typical) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the ≥20dB return loss prevents signal reflection issues. Attenuation testing confirms performance at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, covering standard telecom bands. **Connector Architecture:** The ST/APC (Angle Physical Contact) to ST/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) configuration enables compatibility across diverse fiber optic systems. APC connectors feature angled ferrules that reduce back-reflection, while UPC connectors provide excellent return loss characteristics. This simplex design supports unidirectional transmission, ideal for applications requiring dedicated transmit or receive paths. **Installation & Safety:** The Riser-Rated (OFNR) jacketing complies with building codes for plenum-safe installation in vertical runs and concealed spaces. The compact 1.8mm outside diameter enables flexible routing through conduit and cable trays without excessive bend radius stress. The bright yellow jacket enhances visibility during installation and troubleshooting. **Compliance & Reliability:** Fully TAA-compliant for government and federal projects, this cable meets RoHS/ELV environmental standards. Manufactured in Taiwan, US, and China facilities, it includes a 90-day limited warranty. The cable is packaged securely (10x10x10 case packaging) and ships from strategically located distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina. **Applications:** • Data center interconnect and backbone routing • Telecommunications infrastructure • Network equipment cabinet patching • Campus area network (CAN) connections • Laboratory and test equipment setups **Custom Solutions:** Beyond the standard 2m length, custom lengths are available to match your specific installation requirements. Contact sales for bulk pricing on orders exceeding 10-piece quantities. With free standard shipping on orders over $99, this TAA-compliant patch cable provides exceptional value for professional fiber optic installations requiring verified optical performance and regulatory compliance.
