The JBX88099 7-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents an ideal solution for telecommunications infrastructure, data center connectivity, and network backbone applications. Manufactured with precision-engineered components, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission with minimal signal loss. Technical Excellence: This singlemode patch cable features a 9/125 micron core with G.657.A1 glass fiber composition, specifically optimized for long-distance, high-speed data transmission. The cable achieves exceptional performance metrics: insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (0.15dB typical), return loss of ≥20dB, and attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. These specifications ensure minimal signal degradation over the 7-meter length. Connector Configuration: The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector pairing with Type A to B crossover polarity is the industry standard for duplex patch cords, facilitating seamless integration with existing network infrastructure. The duplex design accommodates bi-directional communication on a single cable assembly. Compliance & Safety: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, this cable meets rigorous government procurement standards. The RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacketing permits installation in plenum and riser spaces without conduit, simplifying deployment while maintaining fire safety standards. Durability & Practicality: The 1.8mm outer diameter provides a balance between flexibility and protection, while the red jacketing offers high visibility for cable management and identification. Manufactured in Taiwan, the United States, or China, this cable benefits from multiple production facilities ensuring consistent availability. Applications: Ideal for telecommunications networks, enterprise data centers, campus networks, and any application requiring reliable singlemode fiber connectivity over moderate distances. The 7-meter length accommodates standard rack-to-switch configurations and cross-connect scenarios. Value Proposition: With a 90-day limited warranty, free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, and availability in custom lengths, this cable offers both immediate deployment capability and long-term flexibility.
