The JBX88287 5m ST/ST Duplex Singlemode Fiber Patch Cable represents industry-standard connectivity for mission-critical fiber optic networks. This TAA-compliant solution meets federal procurement requirements while delivering enterprise-grade performance. **Technical Excellence:** Constructed with 9/125 micron singlemode fiber and G.657.A1 glass composition, this cable achieves exceptional optical performance. Insertion loss measures ≤0.35dB maximum (0.15dB typical), while return loss exceeds 20dB—exceeding ANSI/TIA/EIA standards. Attenuation specifications of 0.25 dB/km at 1310nm and 0.35 dB/km at 1550nm ensure minimal signal degradation across long distances. **Connectivity & Durability:** Duplex configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity enables simultaneous bi-directional transmission on a single connector pair. ST/UPC connectors provide repeatable, low-loss connections with secure bayonet coupling. The 1.8mm diameter jacketing uses OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) material, meeting fire safety codes for plenum and riser installations. **Compliance & Flexibility:** Fully TAA compliant for government contracts and GSA-eligible. RoHS and ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. Custom lengths available for specialized installations. Ships from multiple US distribution centers for rapid delivery. **Applications:** Ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, campus networks, and equipment-to-equipment fiber connections. The 5-meter length accommodates standard rack-to-rack installations in data centers and network equipment rooms. **Warranty & Support:** 90-day limited warranty provides confidence in quality and performance. Free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99.
