The JBX88094 is a professional-grade 2.5-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable designed for critical network infrastructure applications. This cable combines superior optical performance with robust construction to ensure reliable, high-speed data transmission in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise networks. Key Features: Optical Performance: With a 9/125 micron core and G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable delivers exceptional signal quality. Insertion loss is rated at ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical) and return loss exceeds 20dB, meeting stringent industry standards. Attenuation specifications are 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, ensuring minimal signal degradation across multiple wavelengths. Connector Technology: SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors provide secure, reliable connections with polarity Type A to B crossover configuration—the most common standard for duplex patch cords. This ensures compatibility with existing network infrastructure. Compliance & Quality: TAA compliant for government procurement, RoHS/ELV certified, and tested to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards. The OFNR riser-rated jacket ensures safe installation in building plenum and riser spaces. Construction: The compact 1.8mm outside diameter allows flexible routing through tight spaces, while the duplex configuration enables bidirectional communication in a single cable run. Dual plastic components and premium glass fiber ensure durability in high-traffic installation environments. Applications: Ideal for connecting fiber switches, routers, and network termination points in telecommunications rooms, data centers, and enterprise LAN/WAN installations. The 2.5-meter length provides optimal flexibility for most patch panel configurations. Warranty & Support: Backed by a comprehensive 90-day limited warranty. Ships from multiple US locations with free standard shipping on orders over $99. Available in custom lengths for specialized applications.
