The JBX43522 10-meter ST/APC to ST/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for modern telecommunications infrastructure. Designed specifically for applications requiring single-strand signal transmission, this cable utilizes a 9/125 micron singlemode core with advanced G.657.A1 glass fiber composition, delivering superior performance characteristics suitable for both metropolitan and long-distance network deployments. Key Performance Specifications: This cable has been rigorously tested and certified to meet ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring reliable performance. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) minimizes signal degradation, while the ≥20dB return loss prevents reflective interference. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm demonstrate exceptional performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. Construction and Durability: The cable features a yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) rated jacket, making it suitable for indoor building installations including plenum and riser-rated applications. The distinctive yellow color facilitates easy identification and organization within patch panel environments. At 1.8mm outside diameter, it integrates seamlessly with standard fiber optic management systems and cable trays. Compliance and Certification: Fully TAA compliant and certified under EU directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS/ELV), this cable meets stringent government and enterprise procurement requirements. Available from multiple distribution centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC), with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for data center interconnections, telecommunications backbone installations, and high-speed network upgrades. The simplex configuration suits applications requiring single-direction or dedicated signal paths. Custom length options are available for specialized installations. Warranty and Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, ensuring customer confidence in long-term reliability.
