The JBX43581 ST/APC to FC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents a premium connectivity solution for telecommunications networks, data centers, and enterprise infrastructure. This 9-meter cable is purpose-built for applications requiring single-strand singlemode transmission with APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on both ends, delivering superior optical performance and reliability. Key Technical Specifications: The cable features a 9/125 singlemode fiber core, the industry standard for long-distance, single-mode transmission. This specification ensures compatibility with most telecom and data center equipment. The G.657.A1 glass fiber specification provides excellent bend radius performance, making installation easier in tight spaces. With an outside diameter of just 1.8mm, the cable remains flexible without compromising structural integrity. Optical Performance: This patch cable is tested to exceed ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. It delivers exceptional insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB), and return loss ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation. The attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm meet or exceed industry requirements for both traditional and CWDM/DWDM applications. Practical Features: The distinctive yellow OFNR riser-rated jacket not only provides easy cable identification but also ensures fire safety compliance in building installations. TAA compliance and RoHS/ELV certification make this cable suitable for government contracts and environmentally conscious organizations. The cable is manufactured in Taiwan, the US, or China with consistent quality standards. Applications: Ideal for connecting ST/APC fiber modules to FC/APC-equipped network devices, this simplex cable suits telecommunications closets, data centers, laboratory testing, and specialized medical or industrial optical systems. The 9-meter length accommodates standard rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet distances. Value & Support: With a 90-day limited warranty, free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, and availability for custom lengths, this product balances professional-grade performance with practical customer support.
