The JBX43573 ST/APC to FC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents a reliable solution for professional fiber optic network installations. This 2-meter cable is engineered to meet demanding telecommunications and data center requirements where signal integrity and low attenuation are critical. Technical Specifications: The cable features a 9/125 singlemode core constructed from G.657.A1 grade glass fiber, ensuring superior performance in bend-sensitive applications. With an outside diameter of just 1.8mm, the cable maintains excellent flexibility while preserving structural integrity. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conducting Riser) rated yellow PVC jacket provides fire-resistant protection suitable for building installations. Performance Metrics: Insertion loss testing confirms exceptional performance at ≤0.35dB with typical performance of 0.15dB, meeting stringent ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Return loss of ≥20dB ensures minimal signal reflection. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm accommodate both standard and extended wavelength applications. Compliance & Certification: Full TAA compliance makes this cable ideal for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The straight-through polarity configuration enables seamless integration into existing infrastructure. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, data center backbone connections, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, and enterprise network expansions. The simplex configuration suits applications requiring unidirectional signal transmission. Customization & Availability: Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. The cable ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this professional-grade patch cable delivers dependable performance for critical network infrastructure.
