The JBX88223 2-meter ST/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents the gold standard in fiber optic connectivity for demanding network environments. This professional-grade cable combines precision engineering with rigorous quality standards to deliver exceptional performance in telecommunications, data center, and enterprise applications. **Technical Specifications:** This cable features a 9/125 singlemode core, meaning 9 microns of glass fiber core surrounded by 125 microns of cladding. This specification is ideal for long-distance, high-bandwidth telecommunications applications. The G.657.A1 glass fiber designation ensures compatibility with modern bend-radius optimized installations while maintaining full singlemode performance. **Performance Metrics:** With insertion loss of ≤0.35dB (typical 0.15dB) and return loss of ≥20dB, this cable exceeds industry standards for signal fidelity. Attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm provide excellent performance across the infrared spectrum used in fiber communications. **Design & Durability:** The distinctive red OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket provides flame resistance suitable for building installations while offering superior visibility for network management. At just 1.8mm in outside diameter, this cable routes easily through cable trays and conduit while maintaining robust protection. ST/UPC connectors with Type A to B crossover polarity configuration are the industry standard for duplex patch applications. **Compliance & Standards:** TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant for government and institutional procurement. RoHS and ELV certified per EU directive 2002/95/EC, ensuring environmental responsibility. All cables are attenuation-tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistent performance. **Applications:** • Telecommunications networks and central offices • Data center interconnects • Campus network backbones • Carrier-grade installations • Professional audio/video over fiber • Broadcast and streaming facilities **Packaging & Availability:** Available in 2m standard length with custom lengths available.
