The JBX43789 90-meter LC/UPC to ST/APC simplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents professional-grade connectivity for sophisticated optical network infrastructure. This single-strand fiber optic cable is engineered for mission-critical applications requiring reliable, high-speed data transmission across extended distances. Key Technical Specifications: Constructed with G.657.A1 grade singlemode glass fiber featuring a 9/125 micrometer core/cladding ratio, this cable delivers exceptional performance with low attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB ensure minimal signal degradation, making it ideal for long-distance telecommunications. Connector Configuration: The cable utilizes LC/UPC connectors on the transmitting end and ST/APC connectors on the receiving end with straight-through polarity. This mixed-connector configuration accommodates legacy systems and modern network equipment, providing flexibility in diverse deployment scenarios. Robust Construction: Encased in OFNR (Optical Fiber, Non-conductive, Riser) rated yellow PVC jacketing with 1.8mm outer diameter, the cable meets building safety codes for riser installations. The plastic accessory materials ensure durability in various environmental conditions while maintaining optical performance standards. Compliance and Certification: Fully TAA-compliant and RoHS/ELV directive-certified (EU 2002/95/EC), this cable meets government procurement requirements for federal projects. Manufacturing in Taiwan, US, and China locations ensures supply chain reliability. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, enterprise networks, and long-distance fiber optic runs. The 90-meter length suits backbone connections and inter-building links. Custom lengths are available for specialized installations. Warranty and Support: Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring quick delivery and accessibility. This cable represents the intersection of reliability, compliance, and performance for optical network professionals.
