The JBX88080 45-meter LC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents the ideal solution for organizations requiring reliable, compliant fiber connectivity in demanding network environments. This professional-grade cable combines superior performance specifications with practical design features that simplify deployment and ensure long-term reliability. Technical Excellence: Constructed with a 9/125 singlemode core and advanced G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm ensure minimal signal degradation over the 45-meter length. The measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss of ≥20dB exceed industry standards, providing headroom for complex network topologies. Connector Configuration: Features LC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors in Type A to B crossover configuration—the standard for duplex patch cord applications. This polarity ensures correct signal flow without requiring adapter cables, reducing installation complexity and potential connection errors. Compliance & Standards: TAA compliant manufacturing and RoHS/ELV certification meet government procurement requirements. Tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards for insertion loss and return loss performance. OFNR riser-rated jacketing permits safe installation in plenum spaces and inter-floor routing without conduit. Practical Advantages: The 1.8mm outside diameter balances flexibility for routing through tight spaces with durability to withstand repeated installations. The distinctive red jacket aids network documentation and troubleshooting. Ships free on orders over $99 from multiple US distribution centers for rapid deployment. Ideal Applications: Datacenter interconnects, telecommunications networks, enterprise backbone cabling, test and measurement setups, and any installation requiring reliable singlemode signal transmission with compliance documentation. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and available in custom lengths for specialized requirements.
