The JBX87208 85-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents enterprise-grade connectivity for mission-critical network infrastructure. Engineered to exacting standards, this cable delivers exceptional performance for long-distance fiber optic signal transmission. Technical Excellence: This singlemode cable features a 9/125 micrometer core with G.657.A1 glass fiber, optimized for telecommunications wavelengths at 1310nm and 1550nm. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm ensure minimal signal loss over extended distances. The typical insertion loss of just 0.15dB (maximum 0.35dB) and return loss of ≥20dB make this cable suitable for both voice and data applications requiring pristine signal quality. Design & Construction: The duplex configuration with SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors (Type A to B crossover) supports full-duplex communication. The riser-rated (OFNR) jacket provides flame retardancy for indoor installations, while the 1.8mm outside diameter facilitates easy cable management through conduit and racks. Blue coloring aids in network organization and visual cable identification. Compliance & Reliability: Full TAA compliance and RoHS/ELV certification ensure this cable meets government and environmental standards. Manufactured to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, every cable is attenuation-tested for quality assurance. The 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind for enterprise deployments.
