The JBX88101 SC/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents a premium solution for professional fiber optic networking installations. Engineered to exacting industry standards, this 9-meter cable delivers the reliability and performance characteristics demanded by enterprise data centers, telecommunications facilities, and sophisticated network environments. **Technical Excellence** Constructed with a 9/125 singlemode core and G.657.A1 glass fiber, this cable demonstrates superior optical performance. The insertion loss specification of ≤0.35dB (with typical performance of just 0.15dB) ensures minimal signal degradation, while return loss ≥20dB provides excellent signal integrity. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm align perfectly with long-haul telecommunications and metro network requirements. **Professional-Grade Connectors** The SC/UPC to ST/UPC connector configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity represents industry best practices for duplex patch cord applications. These precision-polished connectors ensure optimal coupling efficiency and minimal back-reflection, critical factors in maintaining network performance and signal quality. **Compliance & Safety** TAA compliance certifies this product for government and enterprise procurement, meeting Buy American requirements. RoHS/ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility and adherence to European regulations. The OFNR riser rating permits safe installation within building cable trays and wall cavities, addressing fire safety and building code requirements. **Practical Features** The vibrant red jacketing facilitates network organization and troubleshooting, enabling quick visual identification within complex installations. The 1.8mm outside diameter balances durability with flexibility, simplifying routing through conduit and tight spaces. Custom length availability accommodates non-standard requirements, providing flexibility for unique network topologies. **Warranty & Support** The 90-day limited warranty demonstrates manufacturer confidence in product quality. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99 reduces total cost of ownership, while multiple domestic fulfillment centers (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) ensure rapid delivery to customers nationwide. **Applications** Ideal for: backbone connectivity, enterprise campus networks, data center interconnects, telecommunications equipment, high-speed LAN installations, and fiber-to-the-premises deployments. The singlemode architecture supports distances exceeding 10km with minimal attenuation, making it suitable for metro and long-haul applications. **Quality Assurance** Attenuation testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A standards, ensuring measurement accuracy and performance validation. Manufacturing options from Taiwan, US, and China provide supply chain flexibility while maintaining consistent quality standards.
