The JBX43610 8-meter FC/APC to ST/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for single-mode fiber optic connectivity. Engineered for reliability and performance, this cable serves telecommunications providers, data center operators, and network infrastructure professionals who demand superior signal quality and durability. **Technical Excellence** This singlemode fiber patch cable utilizes a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, providing optimal performance across telecommunications wavelengths. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB ensures minimal signal degradation even in demanding applications. Attenuation specifications are verified at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, meeting ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. **Durability and Compliance** The yellow OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conducting Riser) rated jacket provides both visibility and building code compliance. At 1.8mm outside diameter, the cable balances protection with ease of installation. RoHS and ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility, while TAA certification qualifies this product for government and enterprise procurement requirements. **Practical Applications** Ideal for telecommunications networks, long-distance data transmission, and inter-building fiber backbone connections. The straight-through polarity configuration supports standard network architectures. Custom lengths accommodate specific installation requirements, with rapid turnaround available. **Value and Support** Shipped from strategically located US warehouses (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC), orders over $99 qualify for free standard shipping. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind, while expert technical support ensures successful deployment. **Specifications Summary** Length: 8 meters | Core: 9/125 singlemode | Fiber Type: G.657.A1 | Connectors: FC/APC to ST/UPC | Jacket OD: 1.8mm | Insertion Loss: ≤0.35dB | Return Loss: ≥20dB | Standards: ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 | Warranty: 90 days
