The JBX43570 ST/APC to FC/APC singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for demanding fiber optic networking environments. Engineered with precision and manufactured to exacting standards, this 0.5-meter cable delivers the performance and reliability required by telecommunications professionals, network administrators, and data center operators. Technical Excellence and Performance This simplex fiber patch cable features 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 bend-insensitive characteristics, making it ideal for installations requiring flexible routing without performance degradation. The APC (angled physical contact) connectors on both ST and FC ends provide superior return loss performance (≥20dB), critical for maintaining signal quality in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and other high-performance applications. With measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB typical and attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm, this cable ensures minimal signal degradation across standard telecom wavelengths. Compliance and Certification The cable is fully TAA compliant, meeting requirements for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV certification ensures compliance with environmental and safety regulations. The OFNR riser-rated jacketing permits installation in building risers and plenum spaces where applicable, expanding deployment flexibility. Applications and Use Cases Perfect for fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) installations, telecommunications backbone connections, laboratory testing equipment, and enterprise network infrastructure. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification within complex cable management systems. Customization and Availability While this product features a standard 0.5m length, custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring rapid deployment. Quality Assurance Each cable is attenuation-tested according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, with a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty providing peace of mind on your investment.
