The JBX43720 8-meter SC/APC to LC/UPC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a reliable solution for professional fiber optic network installations. This pre-terminated cable eliminates on-site splicing requirements, reducing installation time and potential signal degradation. Technical Specifications: This cable features 9/125 singlemode fiber construction certified to G.657.A1 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern telecommunications infrastructure. The SC/APC (Angle Physical Contact) connector on one end provides superior return loss characteristics (≥20dB), while the LC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connector on the opposite end delivers industry-standard performance. The simplex configuration means a single fiber strand for unidirectional signal transmission. Performance Metrics: Attenuation is tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, with specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm. The 8-meter length experiences minimal signal loss, with typical insertion loss of just 0.15dB and maximum 0.35dB—exceptional performance for most applications. Durable Construction: The cable's 1.8mm outside diameter jacket is OFNR (Riser Rated) certified, meeting fire safety codes for installation in vertical runs within buildings. The bright yellow jacket provides easy identification and visibility during installations and maintenance. Compliance & Standards: TAA compliant for government and GSA procurement, this cable meets RoHS/ELV directives, making it suitable for environmentally-conscious organizations and regulated industries. Manufacturing locations include Taiwan, US, and China, with multiple domestic fulfillment centers in Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC. Customization & Support: Beyond the standard 8-meter length, custom lengths are available to match your specific network requirements. Each cable includes a 90-day limited warranty, and orders over $99 qualify for free standard shipping. Perfect for data center upgrades, telecommunications backbone installations, and enterprise-grade network infrastructure projects requiring maximum reliability and minimal signal loss.
