The JBX43760 LC/UPC to ST/APC Simplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity engineered for demanding network environments. This 0.5-meter cable delivers the precision performance required for mission-critical telecommunications, data center, and government applications. KEY FEATURES: Constructed with 9/125 singlemode fiber core utilizing G.657.A1 specifications, this cable ensures minimal signal attenuation across standard operating wavelengths (1310nm: 0.25dB/km; 1550nm: 0.35dB/km). The LC/UPC connector provides ultra-low insertion loss (≤0.35dB typical at 0.15dB), while the ST/APC termination offers superior return loss performance (≥20dB), ensuring signal quality and reducing reflective noise in your network. COMPLIANCE & SAFETY: Fully TAA-compliant for U.S. federal procurement, this cable meets EU RoHS/ELV directives (2002/95/EC). The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) jacket rating ensures fire-safety compliance for plenum and riser installations, making it suitable for vertical cable runs and building risers. TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE: Tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A 2001 standards, this cable delivers consistent performance. The 1.8mm outside diameter provides optimal cable density for rack installations, while the 5mm width facilitates neat cable management. Straight-through polarity ensures compatibility with standard network topologies. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for connecting fiber-optic network equipment in data centers, telecommunications rooms, government facilities, and enterprise networks. The 0.5m length suits equipment interconnections with minimal signal loss. Custom lengths available for specialized requirements. VALUE PROPOSITION: Ships from three U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Manufactured in Taiwan, United States, or China with consistent quality standards. 90-day limited warranty protects your investment.
