The JBX43514 fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for modern optical network infrastructure. Measuring 2.5 meters in length with ST/APC connectors on both ends, this simplex cable is engineered for single-direction signal transmission in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks. Technical Excellence: This cable features a 9/125 singlemode core utilizing G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, delivering superior performance with insertion loss of just ≤0.35dB at typical conditions and return loss exceeding 20dB. These specifications ensure minimal signal degradation and optimal data integrity across your network infrastructure. Attenuation performance meets ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, testing at 1310 nm (0.25 dB/km) and 1550 nm (0.35 dB/km) wavelengths. Compliance & Safety: TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified, this cable meets stringent government and environmental regulations. The OFNR (Optical Fiber, Non-Conductive, Riser Rated) jacket ensures safe installation in commercial building plenums and other regulated spaces. Practical Design Features: The distinctive yellow jacketing provides visual identification and organization in complex multi-cable environments. The compact 1.8mm outer diameter facilitates easier routing and installation in tight spaces. Straight-through polarity configuration ensures correct signal transmission without the need for special adapters. Versatile Applications: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data center patch panels, network upgrades, and fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) installations. The 2.5m length accommodates typical rack-to-switch distances in standard network environments. Custom Solutions Available: While this product ships in 2.5m length, custom lengths are available to meet your specific deployment requirements. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, with shipments dispatched from strategic U.S. locations. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this cable provides reliable performance and customer confidence.
