The JBX87181 SC/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents professional-grade optical connectivity engineered for mission-critical applications. This 1-meter cable combines precision engineering with compliance certifications required by government and enterprise sectors. **Technical Excellence:** Built with 9/125 singlemode fiber core and advanced G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable delivers superior performance across both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, with attenuation rates of 0.25dB/km and 0.35dB/km respectively. Insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB ensure minimal signal degradation, critical for long-distance telecommunications and data center applications. Testing conducted per ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards validates performance specifications. **Connector Configuration:** The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector pair offers Type A to B crossover polarity—the most common duplex configuration for standard network deployments. This combination provides reliable intermatable connections with minimal back-reflection. **Compliance & Durability:** TAA compliant certification ensures eligibility for government procurement. RoHS/ELV compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility. The riser-rated (OFNR) 1.8mm jacket provides flame-resistance and mechanical protection suitable for plenum and general-purpose installations. **Applications:** Ideal for telecommunications infrastructure, data center backbone connectivity, campus networks, and enterprise fiber-optic systems. The duplex configuration enables bidirectional communication on a single cable run, reducing installation complexity. **Custom Solutions Available:** While this 1-meter standard length suits most applications, custom lengths are available to accommodate specific deployment requirements. **Warranty & Support:** 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, with domestic fulfillment from multiple distribution centers.
