The JBX88095 3-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for telecommunications and networking professionals. Built with a 9/125 singlemode core and advanced G.657.A1 glass fiber technology, this cable delivers exceptional performance in demanding applications requiring high-speed signal transmission. Key Performance Features: This cable achieves ≤0.35dB insertion loss at 1310nm, with typical performance of just 0.15dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation over the 3-meter distance. The return loss specification of ≥20dB provides excellent signal reflection control. Comprehensive attenuation testing follows ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, with performance verified at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths, making it suitable for both traditional and modern fiber infrastructure. Construction and Compliance: The cable features OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rating, meeting fire code requirements for in-building installations. Its 1.8mm outer diameter allows for easy routing through cable trays and conduits. Full RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmental responsibility and enterprise-wide standards adherence. TAA compliance makes it ideal for government and regulated sector projects. Connector Configuration: The SC/UPC to ST/UPC configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity enables standard duplex patch cord applications. Both connector types are UPC-polished for optimal return loss characteristics, critical for sensitive optical systems. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for data center interconnects, telecommunications backbone networks, enterprise LAN/WAN installations, and laboratory environments. The 3-meter length accommodates typical rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment distances in professional settings. Value Proposition: Shipped from multiple U.S. locations for rapid delivery, this cable includes 90-day limited warranty protection. Custom lengths available for specialized requirements. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 makes this a cost-effective choice for bulk network upgrades. TAA compliance and multi-regional manufacturing ensure supply chain flexibility for mission-critical deployments.
