The JBX43550 ST/APC to FC/UPC Simplex Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for critical network infrastructure. This 8-meter cable combines precision engineering with proven reliability, making it an ideal choice for telecommunications facilities, data centers, and enterprise network installations. Technical Excellence Built with 9/125 singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable supports extended wavelength ranges with minimal signal degradation. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) ensures clean signal transmission, while return loss of ≥20dB minimizes signal reflection and echo. Attenuation ratings of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm meet ANSI/TIA/EIA standards, guaranteeing consistent performance across telecommunications bands. Compliance & Certification TAA compliance makes this cable eligible for federal government procurement and projects with Buy American requirements. RoHS/ELV certification demonstrates commitment to environmental standards and lead-free manufacturing. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket rating ensures safe installation in vertical cable runs and plenum environments while maintaining fire safety standards. Design & Durability The distinctive yellow jacket aids identification in complex cable runs while the 1.8mm outer diameter allows flexible routing through tight spaces. Precision-polished ST/APC and FC/UPC connectors ensure optimal mating surfaces and consistent performance across multiple connections. The robust construction protects against environmental stress and installation handling. Flexibility & Service Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 8 meters, this cable adapts to unique installation requirements. Multiple U.S. shipping locations enable fast delivery, with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product quality. Ideal Applications Perfect for backbone connections, equipment interconnects, and long-distance signal transmission in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks requiring singlemode fiber performance.
