The JBX88308 85-meter ST/ST duplex singlemode fiber patch cable represents a premium solution for enterprise-class fiber optic networking installations. Manufactured with precision to exacting telecommunications standards, this cable delivers reliable, high-speed data transmission across extended distances without significant signal loss. Key Technical Specifications: This singlemode fiber patch cable utilizes a 9/125 micron core diameter, the industry standard for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications. The G.657.A1 glass fiber specification provides enhanced bend performance while maintaining excellent optical characteristics. With measured attenuation rates of 0.25 dB/km at 1310 nm or 0.35 dB/km at 1550 nm, this cable supports both C-band and L-band transmission windows used in modern DWDM systems. Performance & Reliability: The cable achieves insertion loss of ≤0.35dB with typical performance at 0.15dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation over the 85-meter span. Return loss specifications of ≥20dB prevent signal reflection that could degrade transmission quality. Each cable is tested in accordance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-455-171-A-2001 standards, guaranteeing consistency and reliability. Compliance & Certification: TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance makes this cable eligible for government and institutional procurement programs. RoHS/ELV directive compliance ensures environmental responsibility. The OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket rating permits installation in vertical cable runs within buildings, providing flexibility in network architecture. Application Areas: Ideal for data centers, telecommunications facilities, campus networks, and enterprise installations requiring extended fiber runs. The duplex configuration with Type A to B crossover polarity supports standard patch panel applications and network switch interconnections. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty and available in custom lengths for specialized installations. Ships free on orders exceeding $99 from multiple U.S. distribution centers, ensuring rapid delivery to your facility.
