The JBX87200 SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents the professional networking solution for organizations requiring reliable, long-distance optical connectivity. This 45-meter cable is engineered to exceed industry performance standards while delivering cost-effective value for enterprise deployments. **Superior Optical Performance** Built with a 9/125 micrometer singlemode core and G.657.A1 ultra-low-loss glass fiber, this cable achieves exceptional transmission characteristics. With insertion loss of just ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeding 20dB, the JBX87200 minimizes signal degradation across longer distances. The cable is attenuation-tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, ensuring consistent performance at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths commonly used in telecommunications. **TAA Compliance & Regulatory Adherence** This cable carries full TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance certification, making it eligible for U.S. government contracting and federal procurement projects. Additionally, RoHS/ELV certification ensures environmental responsibility and compliance with EU directive 2002/95/EC, meeting the sustainability requirements of modern organizations. **Practical Installation Features** The 1.8mm diameter construction provides excellent flexibility for installation through cable trays, conduits, and tight routing paths without compromising durability. OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) jacketing rating permits safe installation in building risers and plenum spaces, expanding deployment flexibility across multi-story facilities. **Duplex Architecture & Connectivity** The duplex configuration with SC/UPC and ST/UPC connectors supports full-duplex bidirectional communication with Type A to B crossover polarity—the standard configuration for most patch cord applications. This makes the cable immediately compatible with existing network infrastructure. **Use Cases & Applications** Ideal for: data center interconnections, telecommunications infrastructure, university campus networks, hospital medical systems, broadcast facilities, and long-distance network backbone connections. Suitable for connecting switches, routers, optical transceivers, and telecommunications equipment. **Quality Assurance & Support** Each cable ships with a 90-day limited warranty and comes available in custom lengths for specialized applications. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders over $99, ensuring quick delivery and minimal downtime.
