The JBX43607 5-meter FC/APC to ST/UPC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a premium solution for critical network infrastructure requiring dependable, high-performance fiber optic connectivity. Engineered with precision and manufactured to exacting standards, this cable delivers the reliability demanded by telecommunications professionals, data center operators, and enterprise IT departments. **Technical Excellence** This simplex fiber cable utilizes G.657.A1 glass fiber with a 9/125 micron core diameter, specifically optimized for singlemode transmission. The specifications have been rigorously tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring consistent performance across both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths with attenuation ratings of 0.25 dB/km and 0.35 dB/km respectively. The typical insertion loss of just 0.15dB and minimum return loss of 20dB provide excellent signal integrity for long-distance transmission. **Connector Technology** The FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) to ST/UPC (Straight Physical Contact) configuration enables seamless integration across diverse network architectures. FC connectors provide exceptional durability and repeatability, while ST connectors offer widespread compatibility in established installations. The APC angled surface reduces back-reflection, critical for high-speed data transmission. **Professional Grade Construction** The 1.8mm outer diameter cable features OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing, meeting rigorous safety standards for installation in vertical cable runs and risers. The bright yellow jacket enhances visibility for easy identification and cable management in complex installations. This color-coded construction helps prevent accidental cross-connections and simplifies troubleshooting procedures. **Compliance & Sustainability** Full TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable eligible for U.S. government and federal procurement projects. RoHS/ELV compliance with EU Directive 2002/95/EC demonstrates commitment to environmental responsibility without sacrificing performance or reliability. Materials are carefully selected to minimize environmental impact while maximizing service life. **Flexible Deployment Options** While the standard 5-meter configuration suits most applications, custom lengths are available for specialized installations. Whether you need shorter connections for equipment-to-patch-panel runs or longer spans for inter-floor distribution, custom solutions are readily available to optimize your infrastructure. **Warranty & Support** Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty, this cable provides peace of mind with professional technical support. Ships from strategically located U.S. fulfillment centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring rapid deployment. **Applications** Ideal for telecommunications networks, high-speed data centers, broadcast facilities, research institutions, and enterprise backbone installations where signal integrity and long-term reliability are non-negotiable requirements.
