The JBX88222 1.5-meter ST/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a professional-grade solution for fiber optic network connectivity. Designed for telecommunications infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise network installations, this cable ensures high-performance signal transmission with minimal signal degradation. Key Technical Specifications: The cable features a 9/125 micrometer singlemode core with G.657.A1 grade glass fiber, optimized for both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Performance metrics include insertion loss of ≤0.35dB at 1310nm (typical 0.15dB) and attenuation of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm. Return loss exceeds 20dB, ensuring signal integrity. Testing adheres to ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards. Construction Quality: The cable features ST/UPC connectors on both ends with Type A to B crossover polarity, the standard configuration for duplex patch cords. The 1.8mm outside diameter plastic jacket is OFNR-rated (riser rated), meeting fire safety requirements for vertical cable runs in buildings. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliant construction ensures environmental responsibility. Flexibility and Compliance: TAA compliant for government procurement requirements. Custom length availability accommodates specific installation needs. Manufactured in Taiwan, US, or China, the cable ships from multiple U.S. locations (Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, Beaufort SC) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99. Applications and Use Cases: Ideal for connecting fiber optic equipment in data centers, telecommunications facilities, campus networks, and laboratory environments. The singlemode construction supports long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. Includes 90-day limited warranty. Professional installers and network administrators appreciate the reliable performance and compliance certifications for enterprise deployments.
