The JBX86208 85-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professionals requiring reliable, high-performance optical connectivity. Designed to exceed ANSI/TIA/EIA telecommunications standards, this cable is meticulously tested for attenuation performance at both 1310nm (0.25 dB/km) and 1550nm (0.35 dB/km) wavelengths, ensuring consistent signal integrity across diverse network applications. Key Technical Features: This duplex fiber patch cable features dual 9/125 singlemode strands, enabling simultaneous bidirectional communication. The G.657.A1 glass fiber specification provides superior bend performance compared to standard G.652.D fiber, allowing for more efficient installation in space-constrained environments. With an insertion loss of ≤0.35dB and typical performance of 0.15dB, this cable minimizes signal degradation over its 85-meter length—ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, and campus network backbones. Connector Configuration: The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector pairing in Type A to B crossover configuration addresses the most common duplex patch cord requirements. Both SC and ST connectors feature UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) end faces, providing excellent return loss characteristics (≥20dB) and ensuring reliable connections with minimal reflectance. Compliance and Safety: TAA compliant and manufactured to RoHS/ELV directives (EU 2002/95/EC), this cable meets government procurement standards. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) rating ensures appropriate fire safety for indoor installation in vertical cable runs and riser applications. Customization and Support: Available in custom lengths to match specific deployment requirements, this cable can be tailored to your exact network topology. Multiple domestic shipping locations ensure rapid delivery, with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Applications: Perfect for telecommunications networks, enterprise data centers, campus backbone connections, audio/video production facilities, and any application requiring extended-distance singlemode fiber transmission. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for critical infrastructure installations.
