The JBX43718 SC/APC to LC/UPC simplex fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for modern network infrastructure. Manufactured with precision engineering and tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, this 6-meter cable delivers exceptional performance in demanding telecommunications environments. Key Technical Specifications: This singlemode patch cable features a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, optimized for long-distance signal transmission with minimal signal degradation. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures signal integrity across network connections, while the return loss of ≥20dB provides excellent reflection characteristics. Attenuation measurements confirm performance at 1310nm (0.25dB/km) and 1550nm (0.35dB/km), meeting telecommunications industry benchmarks. Connector Configuration: The SC/APC to LC/UPC configuration combines angle-polished SC connectors with ultra-polished LC connectors, offering flexibility in connecting diverse network equipment. The straight-through polarity ensures predictable signal flow without requiring additional adapters. The SC/APC connectors feature angled polish for reduced back-reflection, while LC/UPC connectors provide ultra-polished surfaces for reliable connections. Construction and Compliance: The yellow OFNR-rated jacket provides visual identification while offering riser-rated fire protection suitable for in-building cable runs. At 1.8mm outside diameter, this cable fits standard conduit and cable management systems. The cable is TAA-compliant and meets RoHS/ELV directives, making it suitable for government and enterprise procurement requirements. Construction from Taiwan, US, and China manufacturing ensures quality control and cost-effectiveness. Applications: Ideal for data center connections, telecommunications backbone infrastructure, network switch interconnections, and optical signal transmission where single-strand fiber simplex configuration is preferred. The 6-meter length accommodates medium-distance equipment spacing in rack environments. Value and Support: Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this cable offers reliable performance and customer peace of mind. Custom lengths available for specialized installation requirements.
