The JBX43617 FC/APC to ST/UPC singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for demanding networking and telecommunications infrastructure. Specifically designed with a 30-meter length, this simplex cable accommodates mid-range connectivity requirements between network equipment, optical switches, and transmission systems. Key Technical Features: This cable utilizes a precision 9/125 singlemode fiber core that supports both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. The FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on one end and ST/UPC (Straight) connectors on the other provide compatibility with legacy and modern equipment. Attenuation specifications of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35dB/km at 1550nm ensure signal fidelity over extended distances. Performance & Compliance: With insertion loss ≤0.35dB typical and return loss ≥20dB, this cable meets rigorous ANSI/TIA/EIA standards. The G.657.A1 glass fiber specification ensures bend-resistant performance in tight installations. TAA compliance makes it ideal for government procurement contracts, while RoHS/ELV certification confirms environmental responsibility. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications networks, research institutions, and government facilities requiring compliant fiber infrastructure. The simplex design suits unidirectional signal transmission, while the yellow jacket aids identification in complex cable runs. Customization & Flexibility: Beyond the standard 30-meter length, custom lengths are available to match your specific installation requirements. Multiple US distribution centers ensure rapid shipping with free standard delivery on qualifying orders. Maintenance & Durability: OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating provides fire safety in building plenum spaces. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this cable represents a reliable investment in your network infrastructure.
