The JBX43603 2-meter FC/APC to ST/UPC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a premium solution for professional fiber optic installations. This cable bridges FC/APC and ST/UPC connector types, making it essential for mixed-connector environments common in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks. Technical Excellence: Built on a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber specification, this cable provides superior performance characteristics. The insertion loss rating of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance at 0.15dB) minimizes signal degradation over the 2-meter span. Return loss exceeding 20dB ensures minimal signal reflection, critical for maintaining signal quality in sensitive optical systems. Attenuation specifications are rigorously tested at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, meeting demanding telecommunications standards. Durable Construction: The 1.8mm outside diameter cable features OFNR (Optical Fiber, Non-conductive, Riser) jacketing, making it suitable for vertical runs in building risers and plenum spaces. The yellow jacket provides easy identification in complex fiber installations, reducing installation errors and simplifying maintenance. Compliance and Quality Assurance: TAA-compliant manufacturing ensures eligibility for government and federal projects. RoHS/ELV compliance confirms environmentally responsible production. Manufacturing in Taiwan, US, and China locations ensures quality control and availability. All cables undergo attenuation testing per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent performance. Customization and Shipping: Available in custom lengths for specific installation requirements. Ships from three US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC) enabling rapid delivery. Qualifies for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, plus comprehensive 90-day limited warranty coverage protects your investment. Applications: Perfect for fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) installations, telecommunications cabinets, laboratory testing, network equipment connections, and any application requiring reliable singlemode fiber connectivity. The FC/APC to ST/UPC configuration makes it invaluable for connecting legacy ST/UPC equipment with modern FC/APC systems.
