The JBX43738 85-meter SC/APC to LC/UPC simplex fiber optic patch cable represents precision engineering for professional network installations. This single-strand cable delivers industry-leading optical performance while maintaining complete compliance with government procurement standards. **Superior Optical Performance** With a 9/125 singlemode fiber core and G.657.A1 glass specification, this cable achieves exceptional attenuation characteristics: 1310nm at 0.25dB/km and 1550nm at 0.35dB/km. Insertion loss testing confirms ≤0.35dB maximum (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation over the entire 85-meter span. These specifications are critical for long-distance telecommunications, data center connectivity, and demanding enterprise applications. **Built for Demanding Installations** The cable's 1.8mm outside diameter and OFNR riser-rated yellow jacket make it ideal for vertical cable routing in multi-story buildings while maintaining visibility in cable management systems. The straight-through polarity design provides compatibility with standard network configurations, eliminating confusion during installation. **Compliance & Reliability** TAA compliance ensures this cable meets U.S. government procurement requirements, making it suitable for federal and institutional projects. Full RoHS/ELV compliance demonstrates commitment to environmental standards. Manufacturing in Taiwan, the USA, and China provides supply chain flexibility, while the 90-day limited warranty protects your investment. **Flexible Solutions** While this product ships as an 85-meter cable, custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements. Packaged in convenient 10x10x10 configurations for easy handling and storage. **Ideal Applications** Designed for data centers, telecommunications networks, enterprise LANs, ISP infrastructure, and any installation requiring reliable single-mode fiber connectivity between SC/APC and LC/UPC equipment. The yellow jacket enhances cable identification in complex installations. **Technical Standards** Attenuation testing performed per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 ensures verified performance. Ships with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, available from regional fulfillment centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina.
