The JBX88096 SC/ST singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for organizations requiring reliable, high-performance fiber optic connectivity. This 4-meter duplex cable combines precision engineering with compliance certifications demanded by enterprise and government networks. **Technical Excellence:** Built with 9/125 singlemode core specification, this cable delivers exceptional optical performance. The insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typically 0.15dB) and return loss ≥20dB ensures minimal signal degradation over network links. Testing performed in strict accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards guarantees consistent, predictable performance. G.657.A1 glass fiber technology provides superior signal integrity and reduced bending losses. **Standards & Compliance:** TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable suitable for government and publicly-funded projects. RoHS/ELV directive compliance (EU 2002/95/EC) ensures environmental responsibility. The riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing meets fire safety codes required in commercial buildings, providing protection in multi-story installations. **Connector Configuration:** SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors with Type A to B crossover polarity configuration deliver the standard duplex patch cord setup used in most network environments. The 1.8mm outside diameter provides flexibility for routing through cable management systems. **Applications:** Ideal for data center expansions, campus network links, carrier-grade installations, and telecommunications infrastructure. Perfect for organizations upgrading to singlemode fiber for increased bandwidth and distance capabilities. **Customization & Support:** Beyond the standard 4-meter length, custom lengths are available to fit specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple US locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensuring quick delivery. Free standard shipping applies to orders exceeding $99, reducing total project costs.
