The JBX43671 LC/UPC to FC/APC simplex fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise networking environments. This 9-meter cable bridges two industry-standard connector types, providing flexibility in system design and upgrades. Technical Excellence: Built with 9/125 singlemode fiber, this cable supports long-distance telecommunications at speeds up to 100 Gbps depending on equipment. The G.657.A1 fiber specification ensures compatibility with modern bend-insensitive applications while maintaining performance standards. Insertion loss testing confirms ≤0.35dB maximum attenuation, with typical performance of just 0.15dB—significantly better than standard requirements. Connector Performance: The LC/UPC termination provides low-loss connectivity with typical return loss measurements exceeding 20dB, preventing signal reflection and ensuring clean transmission. The FC/APC connector on the opposite end offers compatibility with legacy systems and specific equipment configurations. The simplex design transmits signals in one direction, making it ideal for applications requiring dedicated send or receive paths. Compliance and Certification: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable suitable for government contracts and public sector projects. RoHS and ELV directives compliance ensures environmental responsibility and safe handling. ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards validation guarantees performance testing by independent laboratories. Installation and Deployment: The 1.8mm outside diameter provides flexibility for routing through conduits and cable trays. Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing meets building code requirements for installation in vertical building pathways. The bright yellow jacket simplifies identification and troubleshooting in complex cabling environments. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications facilities, FTTH deployments, data center backbone connections, test equipment setups, and system expansions. Custom lengths available for non-standard installations. Warranty and Support: 90-day limited warranty with free standard shipping on orders over $99. Ships from strategically located distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina for rapid delivery.
