The JBX86183 2m SC/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a critical component in modern fiber optic networking infrastructure. Designed to exceed industry standards, this TAA-compliant cable delivers reliable single-mode fiber connectivity for telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise network installations. **Technical Excellence** Utilizing 9/125 singlemode fiber with G.657.A1 glass composition, this duplex patch cable achieves exceptional performance characteristics. The cable demonstrates insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss ≥20dB, meeting stringent ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Attenuation performance reaches 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, ensuring signal integrity across long network runs. **Professional Construction** The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector configuration employs Type A to B crossover polarity, the most common duplex patch cord arrangement. The 1.8mm outside diameter provides flexibility in cable routing through conduit and cable trays, while OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating ensures compliance with building fire safety codes. **Compliance & Reliability** Full RoHS/ELV compliance and EU directive 2002/95/EC adherence make this cable suitable for environmentally conscious installations. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in product quality, backed by multi-location U.S. inventory (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC). **Applications** Ideal for telecommunications equipment interconnection, data center backbone connections, fiber-to-the-desktop deployments, and building automation systems. The 2-meter length accommodates standard rack and cabinet spacing while remaining manageable for wall-mount installations. **Custom Solutions Available** While this product features a 2-meter length, custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 makes bulk purchasing economical for network installers and IT professionals. **Why Choose This Cable** With rigorous attenuation testing, proven connector reliability, and TAA compliance for government and enterprise procurement requirements, the JBX86183 delivers professional-grade performance at competitive pricing. The duplex configuration eliminates cable clutter while maintaining superior signal transmission characteristics essential for mission-critical network operations.
