The JBX88118 85-meter SC/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for professionals requiring dependable long-distance fiber optic connectivity. Built with precision-engineered 9/125 singlemode fiber and G.657.A1 glass composition, this cable delivers outstanding optical performance across standard telecommunications wavelengths. Key Performance Characteristics: This cable exhibits exceptional low-loss transmission with insertion loss of 0.15dB typical at operating wavelengths (1310nm: 0.25dB/km; 1550nm: 0.35dB/km) and return loss exceeding 20dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation over the 85-meter span. These specifications make it ideal for high-bandwidth applications including long-haul telecommunications, data center interconnects, and enterprise backbone networks. Construction and Durability: The 1.8mm outside diameter cable features OFNR (Riser Rated) jacketing, providing flame resistance and compliance with building codes. The duplex configuration (two fiber strands) enables bidirectional communication through a single, organized cable run. SC/UPC to ST/UPC connectors in Type A to B crossover polarity offer broad compatibility with existing infrastructure. Compliance and Standards: Fully TAA compliant and RoHS/ELV certified under EU Directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets government procurement requirements and environmental standards. Testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001, ensuring consistent quality and performance. Versatility and Availability: Custom lengths are available for specialized installations, and the cable ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) for rapid delivery. Orders over $99 qualify for free standard shipping. Backed by a 90-day limited warranty, this is an economical choice for telecommunications professionals.
