The JBX43605 FC/APC to ST/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for connecting optical network equipment with precision and reliability. This 3-meter cable is engineered for applications requiring single-strand simplex connectivity, making it ideal for unidirectional signal transmission in fiber optic networks. Technical Excellence: Constructed with 9/125 singlemode fiber and G.657.A1 glass, this cable delivers superior performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure minimal signal loss over the cable run. The insertion loss rating of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of 0.15dB) and return loss of ≥20dB exceed industry standards for critical network applications. Compliance and Safety: TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV directive adherent, this cable meets government procurement requirements. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated) yellow jacket provides fire-rated protection for installations in building risers and plenum spaces. Practical Features: The 1.8mm diameter outer jacket enables flexible routing through existing cable infrastructure. FC/APC connectors feature angled polish for superior return loss performance, while ST/UPC connectors provide standard polarity configuration. Yellow coloring aids in visual identification within cable management systems. Applications: Ideal for data center patch panel interconnections, telecommunications equipment installations, CATV networks, and broadcast facility deployments. The simplex configuration suits applications requiring dedicated transmission paths. Customization and Support: Available in custom lengths for specialized installation requirements. Tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, backed by 90-day limited warranty. Ships from multiple US locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
