The JBX43489 ST/APC to ST/UPC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity for demanding network environments. This 7-meter singlemode cable combines precision engineering with proven reliability, making it an excellent choice for data centers, telecommunications infrastructure, and professional audio/visual installations. Key Technical Advantages: The 9/125 singlemode fiber core delivers superior performance over extended distances with minimal signal degradation. The ST/APC connector on one end and ST/UPC on the other provides flexibility for mixed-connector network environments. Measured insertion loss of just ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) ensures maximum signal integrity, while ≥20dB return loss prevents signal reflection issues. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm align with ITU-T standards, supporting both legacy and modern wavelength systems. Quality and Compliance: TAA compliant certification ensures suitability for federal and government procurement. RoHS/ELV compliance meets environmental regulations. OFNR riser rating allows installation in building plenums and non-plenum spaces. The durable 1.8mm outside diameter jacket withstands typical network installation conditions. Flexibility and Convenience: While this product comes in 7 meters, custom lengths are available for specific deployment requirements. The distinctive yellow jacket aids cable identification and management in complex installations. Ships from multiple US warehouses (California, Texas, South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Ideal Applications: Perfect for connecting network equipment, switches, routers, and optical distribution frames. Suitable for both new installations and upgrades to existing single-mode fiber networks. The ST connector design remains popular in telecommunications, making this cable valuable for retrofits and standardized deployments. Warranty and Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, ensuring customer confidence in product reliability. Built to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 attenuation standards for consistent performance. Choose the JBX43489 for professional-grade fiber connectivity that delivers performance, durability, and compliance.
