The JBX86194 15m SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable is a mission-critical component for telecommunications, data center, and enterprise networking applications. Designed to transmit fiber signals with minimal signal degradation, this cable combines professional-grade materials with rigorous testing standards to ensure reliable performance in demanding environments. Technical Excellence This patch cable features a 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber specification, delivering superior optical performance. The cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at typical levels (0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB, tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Attenuation specifications meet 1310 nm: 0.25 dB/km or 1550 nm: 0.35 dB/km requirements, ensuring optimal signal transmission across fiber networks. Connector Configuration The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector pairing with Type A to B crossover configuration is the industry standard for duplex patch cords, providing reliable connectivity and ease of integration with existing network infrastructure. Both connectors feature UPC (Ultra-Polish Connector) polishing for maximum performance. Compliance and Certification TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified per EU directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets government procurement requirements and environmental regulations. These certifications make it ideal for federal, state, and institutional networks. Durable Construction The 1.8mm outside diameter with OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacketing provides fire safety compliance and durability in building risers and professional installations. The plastic accessories and robust design ensure longevity in active network environments. Customization and Support Custom lengths are available to meet specific installation requirements. The 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in your purchase. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 makes procurement cost-effective. Applications Perfect for connecting network switches, routers, patch panels, and optical transceivers in telecommunications facilities, data centers, and enterprise networks requiring single-mode fiber connectivity over medium distances.
