The JBX43538 ST/APC to ST/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a premium solution for professional fiber optic networking applications. Manufactured to exacting standards using G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, this 85-meter cable delivers superior performance characteristics that meet or exceed industry specifications. Key Technical Specifications: This singlemode fiber cable features a 9/125 micron core optimized for long-distance signal transmission with minimal attenuation. With insertion loss of just ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB, the cable ensures clean signal paths and reliable data integrity. Performance is consistent across standard wavelengths: 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. Product Features: The 1.8mm outside diameter and riser-rated (OFNR) yellow jacket provide both protection and easy identification in multi-cable environments. The robust plastic accessories and durable construction ensure years of reliable service. Compliance certifications include TAA, RoHS/ELV, and testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center interconnections, campus backbone networks, and long-distance signal transmission. The simplex configuration supports single-direction transmission applications, while the ST/APC connectors provide secure bayonet-style connections with low back-reflection characteristics. Customization & Availability: Custom lengths are available upon request, allowing tailored solutions for specific installation requirements. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and eligible for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, this cable offers exceptional value for enterprise and service provider deployments. Maintenance Note: Store in cool, dry conditions and avoid excessive bending or tension during installation to maintain optimal performance characteristics throughout the cable's operational lifetime.
