The JBX43579 7-meter ST/APC to FC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for demanding optical fiber networks. This precision-engineered cable combines industry-leading performance specifications with compliance certifications required in enterprise and government environments. Technical Excellence: This singlemode fiber patch cable features a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 glass fiber composition, engineered to deliver attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm wavelengths. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation over the 7-meter span, while return loss exceeding 20dB maintains signal quality in bidirectional systems. All performance metrics are attenuation-tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Connector Compatibility: The ST/APC (Straight Tip/Angled Physical Contact) to FC/APC (Ferrule Connector/Angled Physical Contact) configuration provides superior performance characteristics. APC (angled) connectors reduce back reflection and ensure optimal signal integrity, making this cable ideal for analog video transmission, DWDM systems, and other applications sensitive to reflection noise. Durable Construction: The 1.8mm outer diameter cable features OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacketing in distinctive yellow, providing fire-rated protection suitable for installation in plenum spaces and vertical cable runs. The plastic accessory construction ensures lightweight handling while maintaining mechanical durability. Compliance & Procurement: This cable is fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and meets RoHS/ELV directives, qualifying it for government contracts and environmentally conscious organizations. Manufactured in Taiwan, the United States, or China, it maintains consistent quality standards across production locations. Customization & Availability: While this product ships as a standard 7-meter configuration, custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for expedited delivery, with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data center interconnects, fiber-to-the-premises installations, and laboratory/testing environments where reliable single-strand signal transmission is essential.
