The JBX85184 SC/ST Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents the gold standard in optical connectivity solutions for telecommunications and data center environments. This 1-meter duplex cable combines precision engineering with practical design features that make it an essential component for any professional fiber optic network. Technical Excellence Built with a 9/125 singlemode core and advanced G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, this patch cable delivers industry-leading performance specifications. The insertion loss rating of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths ensures minimal signal degradation, while the return loss of ≥20dB maintains signal integrity across longer network runs. These specifications comply with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing reliable performance in mission-critical applications. Design and Construction The cable features a compact 1.8mm outside diameter with riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing suitable for in-building backbone installations. The vibrant yellow jacket provides superior visibility in crowded equipment racks and cable trays, reducing installation time and maintenance errors. SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors in Type A to B crossover configuration represent the industry-standard pairing for duplex fiber systems. Compliance and Reliability Full TAA compliance ensures this cable meets government procurement requirements for federal and institutional buyers. RoHS/ELV certification confirms environmental responsibility without compromising performance. The 90-day limited warranty provides additional assurance for your investment. Applications Ideal for ISP backbone connections, enterprise campus networks, data center interconnects, and high-speed telecommunications installations. The cable's performance characteristics make it suitable for both short-reach and extended-distance applications. Available in Custom Lengths While this listing features the 1-meter configuration, custom length options are available to meet specific installation requirements.
