The JBX87202 SC/ST Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable is engineered for professionals who demand reliability, compliance, and performance in critical network infrastructure. This 55-meter duplex cable represents the gold standard for enterprise-grade fiber optic connectivity. KEY SPECIFICATIONS: This cable features a robust 9/125 singlemode core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, specifically designed for long-distance, low-loss signal transmission. The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity is the industry standard for duplex patch cord applications, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS: With industry-leading insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss of ≥20dB, this cable minimizes signal degradation and reflection. Performance is rigorously tested at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, ensuring compliance with telecommunications industry benchmarks. COMPLIANCE & SAFETY: TAA compliance makes this cable ideal for government and institutional procurement. RoHS/ELV compliance meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC requirements. OFNR riser-rated jacketing ensures superior fire safety performance in building installations, with a 1.8mm outside diameter for optimal space efficiency. APPLICATIONS: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, campus networks, and enterprise backhaul connections where reliability is non-negotiable. The 55m length accommodates medium-distance runs without repeaters, while custom lengths are available for specialized requirements. CONVENIENCE & VALUE: Ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty. Available in custom configurations to meet specific deployment needs.
