The JBX43638 ST/APC to LC/UPC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade connectivity for mission-critical fiber optic networks. This 6-meter cable is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern telecommunications, data center operations, and enterprise networking environments. Technical Excellence: Built with a 9/125 singlemode core compliant with G.657.A1 standards, this cable delivers exceptional performance characteristics. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while the return loss of ≥20dB guarantees signal integrity. Attenuation rates of 0.25dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35dB/km at 1550nm make it suitable for both traditional and modern wavelength applications. Connector Compatibility: The ST/APC to LC/UPC configuration provides flexible connectivity between different fiber infrastructure types. APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors on the ST end reduce back reflection, while UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors on the LC end ensure broad compatibility with standard network equipment. Compliance and Safety: TAA compliant and manufactured according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, this cable meets government procurement requirements. The riser-rated (OFNR) yellow jacket provides flame resistance and easy cable identification in complex installations. RoHS and ELV compliant, supporting environmental sustainability initiatives. Practical Features: The 1.8mm diameter jacket offers optimal space efficiency in cable trays and conduits. Available in custom lengths beyond the standard 6m, this cable adapts to specific installation requirements. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and shipped from multiple U.S. locations with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data center interconnects, fiber-to-the-desktop installations, and network backbone connections. Perfect for facilities requiring long-distance signal transmission with minimal loss and maximum reliability.
