The JBX88088 85-meter LC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professional network infrastructure. Engineered to rigorous industry standards, this cable delivers exceptional performance for mission-critical telecommunications applications. **Technical Specifications:** This duplex patch cable features dual 9/125 singlemode fiber strands, providing redundancy and extended transmission capabilities. The G.657.A1 glass fiber specification supports both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, with attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km and 0.35 dB/km respectively. Measured insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal power loss, while ≥20dB return loss maintains signal integrity. **Construction and Durability:** The cable features a robust 1.8mm outside diameter with OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket, making it suitable for both conduit and in-wall installations. This riser rating meets stringent fire safety codes while the non-conductive design prevents electrical hazards in sensitive network environments. **Compliance and Standards:** Full TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable ideal for government and institutional procurement. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC certification ensures environmental responsibility. Performance is validated according to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. **Connector Configuration:** The LC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors employ Type A-B crossover polarity, the standard configuration for duplex patch cord applications. Ultra-polished (UPC) connector ends minimize reflectance and signal loss. **Applications:** Ideally suited for data center interconnects, long-distance campus network runs, telecommunications infrastructure, and any installation requiring singlemode fiber's superior distance and bandwidth capabilities. The 85-meter length accommodates large facility layouts without intermediate splicing. **Shipping and Support:** Qualifies for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Multiple U.S. warehouse locations ensure rapid fulfillment. 90-day limited warranty provides peace of mind on your infrastructure investment. **Custom Options:** Available in custom lengths to match specific installation requirements.
